Question :

I want to test the waters on some subject in a WhatsApp-group I’m in. Let’s say I want to know how everybody feels about doing something together or not. I’ve seen someone else post a polling questionnaire like that in another WhatsApp-group, and I want to do something similar…

How do I do that ?

Answer :

To create a poll (a questionnaire) in WhatsApp, do this :

• make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your iPhone
• open WhatsApp and go to the group you want to post the poll in
• click on the + (the Plus-sign) bottom left (next to the field where you normally type new messages)
• in the popup list that opens, select “Poll”
• in the “Create Poll” window that opens, at “Question” type the initial question for your poll/questionnaire
• then, at “Options”, add the first multiple-choice answer you have in mind
• then, just below, type the second multiple-choice answer
• now, upon typing the second multiple-choice answer, you will see that an extra field will appear for an extra answer you have in mind
• if you want to add a third (or fourth or fifth) multiple-choice answer, type it
• so, when you have all multiple-choice answers typed, leave the bottom field empty (it will be marked with “Add” in grey)
• now, if you want people to limit their response to only one answer/option, set the “Limit to only one choice” open (to the right) ; if not, leave it closed (to the left)
• then click “Send” top right and your poll will be posted in your WhatApp-group
• as soon als people start filling out your poll/questionaire, their face-icons/avatars will show up next the answer of their choice, so you can monitor the most and least popular answers

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
