Why is there no poll option on my Messenger?

To shorten your discussions and get to a result, you can create and delete polls on Messenger. In a group chat on messenger, a poll can be created to get opinions from everyone who is a part of the group. How does that help? Well, when you have to decide something in a group, polls can be helpful.

• For instance, you want to select a venue for a group meeting.
• Now, everyone would put their opinions in the chat and the discussion would go on for long with no decision made at the end.
• In such a situation, you can think of 3-4 venue options, create a poll on the same, and put it in the group.
• Everyone in the group would select any one option from the poll.
• Once everyone has chosen their option, you can look at which option got the maximum selection and decide that.
• Doesn't this sound easy? So, let us get to the steps.
