Nevertheless, features teased for WhatsApp Beta just this first quarter of the year are quite promising and will surely be a hit once publicly released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the long-awaited features currently in development is the ability to <strong>conduct polls<\/strong> when in WhatsApp groups. So far, the leaked preview shows a text field where users can type in to enter their questions for the poll, and the Create and Cancel buttons on the top corners of the screen. There are <strong>no details yet<\/strong> as to how many choices you can input by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from this, further progress has also been made for the Communities feature. Meant for connecting with people who have the same interests, this is considered to be a more organized version of group chats that can be <strong>easily controlled by admins<\/strong>. Currently, a <strong>new dedicated tab<\/strong> has been made for it\u2014replacing the camera tab in the interface. When opened, it will display all communities you\u2019re a part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are still not available for beta testers but like <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.en.softonic.com\/articles\/new-whatsapp-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all of the features announced<\/a>, they\u2019re expected to be released <strong>sometime in 2022<\/strong>. Since the other features are also slated to be released for the desktop client, then we can soon expect some news about these two, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image credit: WABetaInfo<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its effort to catch up to its competitors, WhatsApp is working on allowing users to create polls in group chats.
