WhatsApp: latest updates for surveys
WhatsApp is introducing three new polling features that make it easier for groups to gather information and make decisions together.

- Create a poll with a single vote: If you need a clear answer to a decision, you as the poll creator can now specify that everyone can only vote once at a time. To do this, simply deactivate the “allow multiple answers” option when creating a survey.
- Search for polls in your chats: It's not always possible to answer a poll right away, and it can sometimes be difficult to find the poll in the chat at a later time. Now you can filter messages by surveys - just like you can for photos, videos or links. On the Chats screen, tap Search and view the search results.
- Stay up to date on survey results: You'll now receive notifications when people participate in your surveys. You also see how many people have already voted in total - so you keep a clear overview.
Redirect with caption
By sharing photos on WhatsApp, you can easily keep your friends and family updated about your life. You also have the option to share media, meaning you can quickly forward images from one group chat to another. Sometimes you don't have time to add context before someone responds.
Now, when sharing media with a caption, you have several options: you can keep it, delete it, or rewrite it entirely to provide additional information when sharing photos between chats. When you share photos and videos, you can also add a caption.
Share documents with captions
Similar to sharing images or videos, you may want to add a small explanation to the shared documents. You have this opportunity now. Whether it's a newspaper article or a document for your work, you can add a caption before sharing.
These updates are already rolling out to users worldwide and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
