San Francisco, January 15: Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new feature to some beta testers that will let users share polls in channels on iOS. As shown in the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, some beta testers can explore a new poll option right within their own channels. The channel owner can see if this feature is enabled for their account by opening the chat attachment menu within their channel.

According to the report, this feature ensures the protection and confidentiality of poll votes, assuring that the choices of channel followers remain secure and anonymous during polling. All participants will only be able to see the total number of votes without knowing who specifically contributed to the poll. Meanwhile, WhatsApp has started to roll out a new feature that lets iOS users create, edit and share their own stickers.
"You can now turn your photos into stickers or edit existing stickers. In other news, you'll likely have to show the entire group chat how you did it.
