WhatsApp is already testing the surveys in group chats on devices with iOS operating system, through a new interface in which the question appears followed by five answer options.
In early March, WABetaInfo indicated that the app had included this feature in the beta version 22.6.0.70 of WhatsApp for iOS, an update that had been made through the TestFlight program.
Now, this same portal has reported a new WhatsApp beta update for iOS 22.9.0.70 and has shared the group survey interface, which at the moment has not been released to users. beta testers of the application.
In it, you can see the format that these surveys will have for group chats, where a question is included and then several answer alternatives, hthis five.
Once the desired option has been selected, users must press the ‘Vote’ button, located at the bottom of the vote, after the answers.
From this portal they have recalled that these surveys are end-to-end encrypted so that only members of these groups will be able to see the question and its results. In fact, not even the messaging application itself will have access to this information.
This feature, which is also under development in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, is still in its infancy. early stages of development, so it must first reach the beta testers and then be deployed to the rest of the users.
It should be remembered that the surveys on WhatsApp are very similar to those on Telegram, which integrates them from 2018. It was in 2020 when there was an update of this tool, with new questionnaire formats and the possibility of creating contests.
