How to poll on WhatsApp
First of all, most websites only teach you how to create a poll on WhatsApp Business, but almost no one shows you how to create a poll on regular WhatsApp. So, here are 5 ways to create a poll on your personal WhatsApp in a very easy way.
There are certainly many apps and websites that allow you to send polls on WhatsApp. Unlike Instagram Stories, there is no native polling tool in the WhatsApp app. However, it is possible to send poll links to other users in message format.
In other words, your contacts will click on the poll link that you send to them, and then they will click on those links. From there, people will enter the poll that you created and all the answers will be recorded for you to view whenever you want.
Many browser applications and websites offer the option to create polls on WhatsApp, but we have selected only 5 that we consider to be the easiest, and in addition, both Android and iOS have their own application and allow you to do free surveys.
So, let's now see which apps you can install on your cell phone to create polls and send them via WhatsApp, and also other ways to create your polls without having to install anything on your cell phone and thus save memory on your device.
How to make a poll on Whatsapp – Using apps
Google Forms Web
Google Forms (an online web tool) lets you create polls and surveys for free. You can add images and videos to your survey questions, and the tool is available through your web browser. You can use Google Forms to create a variety of survey templates.
There are templates for personal surveys and others for business organizations where employees can access their GSuite emails. Additionally, in GForms, you can create multiple survey templates based on the data you want to display: results, ratings, questions, dates, or even combinations of these.
Once you’ve selected the template you want to use, simply replace the information in the template with your own, and then link your poll in WhatsApp by copying and pasting the link into your conversation. This saves you a fair amount of time by working this way.
To create a poll on WhatsApp, users can access the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the app and select New Transmission and then choose all the contacts you want to send the link to without having to open each conversation.
TestMoz Web
Finally, we will talk about this very versatile survey creator that works without the need to download or install anything on your cell phone. Users can create a free survey with TestMoz, which does not require registration and is accessed online. The site offers four different types of questions.
When accessing the website, create a username and password and click on “Create Test”. The website is entirely in English, but it is worth using a translator extension to understand all of its features. Google Translator does this. The link is sent via WhatsApp message.
SurveyMonkey – For Android and IOS
SurveyMonkey is another survey option that’s almost as popular as Google Forms. Some of the features are only available in the paid version, but it allows you to see the percentage of responses to your survey in real time and perform analysis based on the filters you’ve used.
The survey can be configured to have an introduction, determine how many questions will be shown on each page, what the final screen will look like, and who will have access to the survey. In other words, these are really cool features that can give the survey a more interesting look to your audience.
How to make a poll on Whatsapp in Portuguese with Pollie
Pollie is an app that allows users to send polls on WhatsApp in Brazilian Portuguese. In fact, this is the app's great advantage, as it is one of the few that offers our language as an option. However, there is nothing stopping you from using an app in English, as today there is Google Translator.
Users can add images to each option in the poll and set a time limit for when the poll will close. The app is free and sends surveys as text to people, with links to the answers.
Finally, to share the poll on WhatsApp, simply tap the share icon in the top right corner of the screen. The system will then open the item for you to tap and send your poll to contacts and WhatsApp groups.
SoGoSurvey
SoGoSurvey is a very complete app for creating surveys on WhatsApp that offers templates for four different categories: Customers, Employees, Events and Training/Professional Development. Just tap the + icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and choose SoGoSurvey.
Within the app, users can add images, checklists, rankings, and other tools. This app is perhaps the best choice if you like to add lots of visual details and other types of graphical appeal that can please your audience or contacts.
So, what is our verdict?
From everything we've analyzed and seeing what each of these apps can do, in both paid and free versions, we've come to the conclusion that Google Forms gives us the simplest and quickest way to create a survey on WhatsApp. What's more, it's free.
