WhatsApp is on the verge of increasing user engagement with its latest feature update. In the latest Android beta version (2.24.2.11), a select group of testers now have a special feature to create polls in channels, mirroring the functionality available in individual and group chats.

For those navigating through WhatsApp channel chats, the polls option is easily accessible via the paper clip icon. This innovative feature gives users the ability to compose questions with a maximum of 12 options, adding a dynamic interactive element to channel discussions. Despite the poll icon taking on a refreshing green color, deviating from the standard yellow, the basic functionality remains intact, ensuring the protection of voter anonymity.
