If you and your friends can never make up your minds on where to eat, where to go, or what to do, you can simply create a poll and let everyone vote.

It's simple.

Here's how you can create your own poll on WhatsApp:

Step one: Open a chat that you want to send a poll and click the 'Attach' button, as if you're about to send a photo or document

Under that, tap the 'Poll' button.

Fill in your question and the poll choices below it. Then, click the send button to deliver your poll.

You can change the order of your poll options by tapping and holding down an option.

Recipients can choose single or multiple options, and you can see who voted for which option. If you want to remove your vote, just tap on it again.
