WhatsApp launched New Poll and media caption sharing features
On May 4th, WhatsApp launched new two new major features with implications for poll and caption sharing along with media. This is another major change in the chat application announced by Meta.
Poll:
According to the information, there are three new updates for polls to help groups share information and come to a decision.
- Create Single-Vote Polls: For when you need a definitive answer, it is introducing the option for poll creators to allow people to vote only once. Turn off the allow multiple answers option when creating a poll.
- Search for Polls in Your Chats: You can filter messages by polls, just like you can for photos, videos, or links. On the Chats screen, press Search and then Polls to find a list of all results.
- Stay Updated on Poll Results: You will now receive notifications when people vote on your polls. It can be shown how many people have voted in total so you can keep up to date on responses.
Caption Sharing:
When you forward media that has a caption, you have the option to keep, delete or completely rewrite it to give extra information when sharing photos between chats. You can also add a caption to photos and videos when you forward them.
Similar to sharing images or videos, the documents you share may require a little explanation. Now you have the option to add a caption before sharing.
Rolling out:
The newly launched WhatsApp poll and media with caption-sharing features began to rollout for global users. Also, the release may take a few weeks to complete.
