WhatsApp is rolling out its new polling feature for Malaysians


Those who already have access to the feature are still able to create polls in chats with other users that have not received the feature yet, which can be answered by all users. — WhatsApp

WhatsApp is finally rolling out in-chat polls to users in Malaysia – alongside features like the Communities group organiser, up to 32-person group calls, larger file sharing, and the ability for admins to delete users’ messages of all members – after its announcement on the messaging app’s official blog earlier this month.

Some Malaysian users have reported having the option to create polls in private one-on-one chats and in group chats, which show up like a regular message in the chat that both they and others can respond to.
