To create a poll on WhatsApp, follow these steps:

1. Open the WhatsApp chat or group where you want to create the poll.
2. Tap the attachment icon:
   • On Android, tap the paperclip icon next to the message input field.
   • On iPhone, tap the "+" icon at the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. From the menu that appears, select "Poll."
4. Enter your poll question in the "Question" field (up to 255 characters).
5. Add answer options (up to 12). You can tap "Add another" or "+" to add more options. To reorder options, tap and hold the three lines next to an option and drag it to the desired position.
6. Decide if you want to allow participants to select multiple answers. By default, multiple answers are allowed; toggle off the "Allow multiple answers" option if you want only one choice per participant.
7. When ready, tap "Send" to post the poll in the chat.

Participants can then tap to vote on their preferred options, and everyone in the chat can see the live results and vote counts

. This feature works similarly on both Android and iOS devices. Note that once a poll is sent, it cannot be edited, but you can create a new poll if needed
