How to create a Poll in WhatsApp

How to create a Poll in WhatsApp: As much as you would think that this is a very essential feature & provided by many other messaging platforms like Telegram, Signal & WeChat. It is still a mystery why WhatsApp still hasn’t launched it yet.

However, this does not mean that you can’t run polls in your WhatsApp groups to take collective decisions — be it your upcoming trip, dinner menu or movie to watch. There are several third-party apps or tools to help you exactly that.

If you are looing for a quick answer, try out: GrabPoll.com

Read on if you want to evaluate more choices.

Here are some of the things that you should look out for while making a choice of your polling app:

• How easy & fast is it to create a poll?
• How easy is it for your voter to vote?
• How are the result shown?
• Does it work on all devices? iOS, Android & Web
• Does it require you to download & install an app?
• Does it require participants to signup & login?
• How fool-proof is it to?
• Pricing — Free or Paid

In most cases, all you are looking for is just quick friendly polls among your groups to decide on day today collective decisions. While there are full blown professional online poll & survey apps out there but they are an overkill for such quick polls.

I built Polls.fr keeping this exact use case in mind out of my own necessasity. The key principles while building Polls.fr were:

• Keep it simple
• Keep it free
• Least friction — No download or sign up
• Fast
• Instant answers

While I had assumed that this would be helpful to a bunch of people but to my surprise Polls.fr has had an overwhelming response since the time I launched it. To give you an estimate, over 25,000 users use GrabPoll.com daily! That’s almost half a million users every month.

With that kind of response, I have a few things planned ahead. Watch out for this space for some exciting updates. Till then keep polling!
