WhatsApp has an ever-expanding feature set, which was recently allowed to include self-messaging for some users. We've also heard that WhatsApp plans to launch a polling feature for group conversations on the app. The update has passed the beta testing phase on Android and iOS and is now available to WhatsApp users on other platforms, along with desktop. WhatsApp polls come in handy when you need to reach an agreement on a specific topic in a group chat. We first saw the option this spring, and it was later released on a few beta testers' devices in September. You can use this feature to ask a question and provide up to 12 multiple options for poll respondents to choose from. Polls have been open for a few months on WhatsApp for Android.

You can download this build from the Microsoft Store and use polling when your computer connects to your smartphone as a linked device. Polling is also open to everyone who downloads WhatsApp Desktop (version 2.2244.6) from the messaging service's website. Polls can be created using the WhatsApp desktop client. It will use end-to-end encryption to share all of your creations with the group. The feature is now available on all major platforms, such as Android, iOS, Windows, and Desktop, with the release of WhatsApp Desktop. However, some other features, such as a dedicated tab for call logs and self-messaging on connected systems, are still in the works.
