We enjoy updates because they provide new features, improved reliability, and a new design to the programs we use every day. Now it’s WhatsApp’s chance to make modifications to the messaging program that almost everyone with a smartphone uses. This time, we see modifications to two important app tentpoles: polls and captions.
Updates to polls on WhatsApp: These updates would be appreciated by anybody who uses WhatsApp to ask their friends and family questions. To begin, you may now create single-vote polls in WhatsApp discussions. This specific sort of poll prevents respondents from replying more than once, preventing different perspectives from muddying the poll. A single-vote poll could be the best approach to finding out what a group believes.
Following that, it is now much easy to return to a poll after the discussion has moved on. You no longer have to go through your posts for the poll. Instead, just search for it and filter messages based on polls. It functions precisely like filtering for photographs, videos, or URLs. To find polls, go to the “Chats” tab, hit “Search,” and then select “Polls” to see all polls.
Finally, WhatsApp will notify you whenever someone responds to your polls, making it much easier to keep track of who has done so. The new version includes alerts anytime someone responds to your poll, allowing you to be more passively involved with the responses rather than checking in every minute to see who responded what.
Updates to captions in WhatsApp: The second major topic addressed in this release is captioned. When you transmit photographs to another chat, WhatsApp now lets you preserve, remove, or change descriptions connected to them. If the photo didn’t come with a caption, you may add one yourself. This adds context to the image without requiring a separate message to be sent after the fact.
This also applies to documents: Whether you’re sharing a PDF from work or an intriguing article with a friend, you can add a caption to explain why you’re sending the content in the first place.
How to install WhatsApp’s latest update: The latest WhatsApp update is already rolling out to users all across the world. However, it will take a few weeks for the modifications to be completely implemented, so you may not see them immediately away. Keep an eye on the App Store or Google Play for the next update, which might arrive today or at the end of the month.
If the program does not update automatically, you can do it manually. Open the Play Store app on Android, hit your profile icon, select Manage Apps & Device, and then tap “Update” next to WhatsApp, if available. On iOS, open the App Store, press your profile icon, drag down to refresh the page, and then tap “Update” next to WhatsApp, if it is available.
