In the beta version of WhatsApp messenger for Android under the number 2.22.3.12, the ability to create polls in chats appeared. This was reported by the WABetaInfo portal.

Previously, WhatsApp had discovered a similar functionality in the messenger for those participating in group chats. Now it will be possible to create polls in personal correspondence. At the same time, the interface and functionality remained the same as in group chats – users will be able to create a poll with up to 12 answer options.

It is stated that polls in group and personal chats are encrypted and even developers cannot recognize users who choose this or that answer.

The innovation is in beta testing. There is no information about the timing of the emergence of the ability to create polls among users of the stable version of WhatsApp.
