WhatsApp is testing polls in its group chats

What you need to know


WhatsApp is testing the ability to add polls to group chats.
The poll and its answers will be encrypted.
It isn't yet clear when the feature will be rolled out to the version of WhatsApp that's in the App Store.


Now it's easier to decide what the family will eat for dinner.

WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow people to place a poll into a group chat.

The new feature, which is available to those running the beta version of WhatsApp via TestFlight, allows people to add a question and then a number of optional answers before allowing people to vote. The move was first spotted by WABetaInfo and could allow people to more easily settle decisions like what to eat for dinner or what bar to meat at.

Notably, because WhatsApp is encrypted, so are the polls and their answers.


  WhatsApp asks to enter the question of the poll to send in a WhatsApp group. Since the feature is under development, there aren't other details right now, but this screenshot...
