Once done or already done, follow these steps:
(1.) Open WhatsApp on your smartphone, and go to group or individual chat.
(2.) For iOS, click on the ‘+’ next to the chat box inside the chat. For Android, select the ‘paperclick’ symbol next to the chat box.
(3.) In both cases, Polls appears at the bottom of the menu that pops up next.
(4.) Click on it , and a new menu will appear. Here, type in the poll question and answer options.
(5.) Once done, just hit ‘Send.’
Please note that the feature is not reflecting on WhatsApp web yet. It is likely to be rolled out there as well.
