Group PollsWhatsApp has its own polls inside chats. A link poll like ours has different strengths. Read WhatsApp's own help for how its poll feature works; here is when a link poll is useful.
A link poll is useful when
- You want to ask people in several groups or chats at once, with one result.
- You want the poll to stay open for several days and show results on a page.
- You want to share the poll outside WhatsApp, for example on a notice or a status.
A built-in poll is useful when
- Everyone is in one group and you want the vote inside the chat.
Sharing well
- Post the link with one line that says what it is for and when it closes.
- Post once, and a single reminder on the last day.
- Do not send it privately to people who did not ask.
- Tell the group the result when it closes.
Our group admin messages have wording you can use.
