WhatsApp for IOS working on poll feature for group chats
text_fields
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow poll within the groups. The in-app feature is under development and is for the group only.
This new WhatsApp feature will allow users to create polls within the group on the topics which are/are relevant to them. Most likely it will be available to iOS users first and later rolled on to Android and desktop clients.
"Thanks to polls, you can ask for a question and other people can vote the answer. Note that polls will only be available in WhatsApp groups and they are end-to-end encrypted… even your answers! So only people in the group can see the poll and the results.", shares WABetaInfo.
This cool feature is under development so the arrival is not certain yet.
The polls can be created in groups only and there's no point in introducing it to the personal chat because that only involves two people.
In addition, it's important to notice that WhatsApp is also readying some other new features. For example, the company has yet to release the long-awaited Reactions function, which will let users react to specific messages.
That said, the company is also working on multi-device compatibility 2.0, which will let users connect to more devices, such as another smartphone or even an iPad, as WhatsApp is also working on a version for Apple's tablet.
