There are loads of social networks as well as chat services in the market which support polls like Facebook, Twitter and Telegram. WhatsApp is a very notable exception and also quite a weird one if you think about it as it is termed as the standard messenger in many countries. Now it looks like WhatsApp is working on adding polls in the group chats.
A recent WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.22.10.11 has added the underlying code that will enable the polls. According to WABetaInfo you will be able to create question with up to 12 possible answers in extra screen within the app. Earlier it was reported that only group members would be able to see as well as interact with the poll which makes sense. Meta has everything in place on Android , desktop and iOS version, it will likely not too long until polls launch.
