You don’t have to do without voting and polls even in your WhatsApp group chats. We’ll show you how to do that in Messenger.
In WhatsApp groups, people not only talk about everyday things with friends, but also plan vacations, birthdays or meetings. This is now much easier, because a survey tool is now available in Messenger, with which you can quickly get an opinion on certain topics. Below we will show you how to create a poll in WhatsApp.
WhatsApp’s survey tool is useful, but it also has weaknesses. For example, not all polls require a person to be able to vote for multiple responses. Unfortunately, Messenger doesn’t yet offer an option to change that. In this case you can use the Reactions feature. You can only add a reaction to a message.
Use Reactions for Polls: Here’s How
-
1Create a post in the group and indicate which emojis to vote with.
-
2Then tap the reactions to see the result of the vote.
Alternatively, you can use third-party tools like Doodle or Strawpoll to conduct polls in your WhatsApp group. You simply share a voting link in the relevant WhatsApp group chat, which all participants can use to cast their vote and see the result.
We’ll show you how to use Doodle or Strawpoll to create polls and polls in WhatsApp for scheduling or other purposes.
While Doodle is good for finding appointments, you can use Strawpoll for organizing classic polls.
In further instructions he shows how to revoke the write rights of group members and how to turn off group notifications.
