Mark Zuckerberg said on Facebook two weeks ago that polling, 32-person video conferencing, and WhatsApp Communities will be available worldwide. Even though not everyone has access to these capabilities yet, WhatsApp has just introduced a new search filter that enables users to look up polls quickly:
The quickest way to find out if the feature is already active for your account is to expand the search bar, as shown in this screenshot. If the polls filter appears, you can already use this feature to look up incoming and outgoing polls. Actually, a few fortunate beta testers were able to utilise this function last week, but WhatsApp is now broadly introducing it to more people. Additionally, it's possible that some fortunate users of WhatsApp for Android's most recent stable release from the Play Store will receive the same feature.
More beta testers have received access to the poll search feature, and it will soon be available to new users as well.
