In case you need some tips on how to use and create WhatsApp Poll, you can check out the easy guide mentioned below. I’m using this feature in Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, you can see if it’s available on your phone.
How to use WhatsApp Poll:
In any WhatsApp group or chat, tap on the attachment button (or “+” icon in iOS). Alongside Documents, Location, Payment, and other options, you will see the “Poll” option at the last on the menu. Tap on it.
In the “Ask question” section enter the question you want to create a poll for. Next to this, you will see “Options”. You can add multiple options here – enter the two options and more “Add” options will appear automatically. Once done, simply hit the “Send” button.
Availability:
It’s worth mentioning that the WhatsApp Polls feature is rolling out in a staged manner, which means it is not available for all Android and iOS users at the time. Some outdated smartphone users could get the feature in the coming time.
Make sure to update your WhatsApp to the latest version to get access to this feature. To do so you can simply head over to Google Play Store on Android and App Store on iOS.

With WhatsApp on the web and desktop, you can seamlessly sync all of your chats to your computer so that you can chat on whatever device is most convenient for you.
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS – Share Moments that Matter
Send photos and videos on WhatsApp instantly. You can even capture the moments that matter to you most with a built-in camera. With WhatsApp, photos and videos send quickly even if you’re on a slow connection.
END-TO-END ENCRYPTION – Security by Default
When end-to-end encrypted, your messages and calls are secured so only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to them, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp.

Sometimes, your voice says it all. With just one tap you can record a Voice Message, perfect for a quick hello or a longer story.
WhatsApp is rolling out the February 2023 update for the app users that installs a bunch of new features. One of those new features is the ability to send up to 100 pictures and videos at once to a WhatsApp chat or group.
While sharing media on WhatsApp, at one time or the other, everyone might have come across this problem that the app cannot share more than 30 images or videos at a time.

This is very annoying when you have less time or more media items to share. Thankfully, we no longer have to go through this kind of problem as we can now send up to 100 pictures and videos within our WhatsApp chats, making it easier for users to share entire albums with their friends and family.
Aside from this, the latest WhatsApp update also adds the ability to attach a caption when sharing documents so you have a new way to describe them. It further lets you choose a longer subject and description for your groups so that you can better describe groups.
In addition to this, the company also makes it possible to better express yourself by creating an avatar to use as a sticker and profile photo. It’s worth mentioning that this feature is already available in the app (Via WABetaInfo) but the company has now only mentioned it in the changelog.
WhatsApp has been offering the ability to delete messages for everyone for years. But have you ever mistakenly deleted the message just from your side when you want to delete it for another side as well? It’s so embarring. Therefore, Whatsapp now allows you to retain deleted messages so you can later delete them for everyone.
Recently, this famous messaging application has started to roll out a new update for Android and iOS users. As per the official information, this WhatsApp update makes it possible to retain your deleted messages by mistake for a few seconds.

Now when you delete a message just for you, you will see an “Undo” option at the bottom of your screen. When you tap on it, your deleted message will start appearing on the chat again. You can now use the “Delete for everyone” function to delete the message from another side too.

However, this retrieve ability will only be available for a few seconds when you delete the message. So if you want to keep your messages, don’t take much time to think and hit the Undo button.
It is worth mentioning that the Undo option will only appear when you tap the “Delete for me” option. And when you hit the “Delete for everyone” option, that message will be permanently deleted from both sides.
Do note that this is a staged rollout. This feature might not be present on your WhatsApp at this moment. However, the company is continuously expanding it and it will reach your Android or iOS phone as well. Make sure to upgrade your WhatsApp to the latest version to get this function.
"Delete for Me" 🤦🤦🤦
We've all been there, but now you can UNDO when you accidentally delete a message for you that you meant to delete for everyone! pic.twitter.com/wWgJ3JRc2r
