| Previous news? | WhatsApp for iOS 22.23.74: what’s new? WhatsApp is releasing the ability to open the chat with your own phone number right within your contacts list! |
Two weeks ago, Mark Zuckerberg announced on Facebook a global rollout for WhatsApp Communities, 32 people video calling, and polls. Even if these features still haven’t reached everyone, WhatsApp is now releasing a new search filter that lets users quickly search for polls:
As you can see in this screenshot, the fastest way to discover if the feature is already enabled for your account is to expand the search bar: if the polls filter shows up, it means you can already use this feature to search for incoming and outgoing polls. In reality, some lucky beta testers were already able to use this feature last week but WhatsApp is widely rolling out to more users today. In addition, it is possible that some lucky users that use the latest stable release of WhatsApp for Android from the Play Store may get the same feature.
The ability to search for polls has been released to more beta testers and it is rolling out to new users over the coming days.
