Currently, only the mobile versions of WhatsApp for iOS and Android are equipped with the polling feature. On WhatsApp for Web, it is anticipated that Meta will soon permit it.

Up to 12 alternatives can be added to a poll in WhatsApp. By just tapping the available option, users are able to cast their votes. If the person who created the poll gives users the option to do so, they may additionally select more than one of the choices offered.

Every time a vote is cast, the poll is automatically updated. Regular users and those who have only voted in the poll but haven’t set it up can examine the poll’s data. Go to the poll and touch “View Votes” for users to participate. They will then see information about the poll, such as who cast a vote and which choice the other respondents chose.
