How to create a poll
Ask a question, add choices and optionally set an end date.
Where to find it: Plus button > Poll > choices > optional end date > Publish
How to
- Choose Poll.
- Write the question in the main field.
- Fill in the required choices and use Add option for more.
- Optionally set an end date.
- Review and publish.
Rules and what happens next
- Use two to four filled choices with different texts. An empty choice is not a valid vote; do not repeat the same choice text.
- An end date is optional. When set, new votes become unavailable at expiry and results remain. Without a deadline, do not assume automatic ending the next day.
- Selecting a choice replaces the previous vote in a single-choice poll while open. Repeated taps do not create additional votes.
Common problems
- Publish disabled: check question content, at least two valid choices and text limit.
- Add option missing: the composer may already have four choices. Remove or revise an existing choice.
- Deadline surprised participants: check date and time before sending. Use clear wording about what each choice means.
