Unfortunately, there is currently no feature in WhatsApp that allows you to add polls to your chats. While this could be a useful feature. Through such a poll, or survey, you can quickly get an answer to a question or gauge the opinion of group members in a group conversation. Last April, images appeared of the beta version of WhatsApp in which the function was included. However, the feature is still under development and it is not yet possible to create polls. Once WhatsApp has finished testing the feature, it will likely be available soon. When exactly this will be is not yet known.
Do you already want to be able to add polls to WhatsApp conversations? Fortunately, this is possible with third-party apps. For example, you can create a poll with HandyPolls and then share it via WhatsApp. We’ll show you how to do this in this article.

When you create a HandyPolls account, you can use multiple settings to make even more customizations.
Would you like to make a poll?
In apps like Telegram and Twitter you can create and share a poll for a while. WhatsApp is therefore relatively late with this. But better late than never, right? There are also several apps and websites for creating polls. In this article, however, we have chosen this one because HandyPolls works very simply.
Would you make a poll later, or now via HandyPolls, for example? And if so, why do you think it’s a useful feature? Let us know in the poll and/or in the comments below this article.
