How to make a poll in WhatsApp

Open the group and tap the attach button (the paperclip or the plus sign).
Choose "Poll".
Type the question and the options. You can allow one answer or several.
Send it. Everyone votes with one tap, and the result updates live.

This site is independent and is not connected with WhatsApp. Menu names in the app change from time to time; the settings described here were checked in November 2026. For the exact steps on your phone, see the WhatsApp Help Centre at faq.whatsapp.com.

Tips for polls that get votes

Keep to four options or fewer.
Give a closing time: "Voting closes at 8 pm."
Announce the result and act on it. A poll that is ignored teaches people not to vote.
