3. Click the Polls icon at the bottom of the chat window.

5. Click the Save button on the bottom right to check the preview.
6. Once you’re ready to use the poll you created, hit the Send button. Otherwise, click Edit to make some changes.

After hitting the send button, the poll is now available for everyone on the group chat. They can submit votes any time they want, and you’ll see the responses on the chat right away.
