Mashable: Although the option to make polls has been found on WhatsApp's iOS app, it is anticipated that it will also be available on Android.

Polls are now supported by the majority of social media networks, including Twitter, Telegram, and Facebook. Only WhatsApp stands out as an exception, and it's an odd one at that. Being able to conduct polls in nations where WhatsApp is widely used would be a huge assistance.

As of now, it appears as if WhatsApp is making progress in this area. According to new reports and screenshots from WABetaInfo, it seems the company is finally working on the same.

A polling feature has been spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS (version 22.8.0.72). Screenshots of the new feature have been released by the publication, giving us a glimpse. First, you must enter a question, which can have as many as 12 alternative responses. You have the freedom to reorganize them however you see fit. According to the article, members of the group would be able to see the polls and outcomes.

Although the option to make polls has been found on WhatsApp's iOS app, it is anticipated that it will also be available on Android. However, because this feature is still in development, we may have to wait a little longer for it to go live. However, WhatsApp would not be the first messaging service to have this feature, since other applications such as Telegram and Facebook Messenger have long enabled users to do so.

Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a slew of new features and improvements, including a pause and resume option for voice messaging, message reactions, the addition of a search shortcut to contacts' info pages, and a redesigned layout for voice conversations. Because some of these features are only accessible in the app's beta version, you must join the testing program on the Play Store. If it's full, you can also grab the most recent beta release from APK Mirror.
