WhatsApp, the most widely used instant messaging service in the world, has added some new features to its robust user base. The app with the most users who use it frequently has been actively innovating to improve the user experience.
Updates to Polls, a feature that enables forwarding with captions and sharing documents with captions, and other new features were made available today by the Meta-owned application.
According to the company’s official press release, “as we continue to innovate the app, today we’re sharing several new features coming to WhatsApp that we hope will make chats a little bit more productive and fun.”

WhatsApp started making its polling tools available to users in November 2022. And now, it has added a few more enhancements to its well-liked feature. Creating single-vote polls, searching for polls in your chats, and keeping up with poll results are the new capabilities.
One-vote polls can now be made by creators thanks to single-vote features. Users just need to disable “allow multiple answers” when creating a poll in order to use this feature.
Users can filter messages by polls using the search for polls in conversations option, just like they do with images, videos, or links. Users can access this function by selecting Search from the Chats panel, then choosing Polls to get a list of all results.
Forward Having Caption

One of the finest ways to keep your family informed is by sharing images. Although WhatsApp already lets you forward photographs, it has recently included descriptions for sent media.
Users now have the choice to keep, delete, or completely rewrite captions when forwarding media. When forwarding videos and photographs to friends and family on WhatsApp, users may now also add captions to the content.
Additionally, users can now include subtitles when sharing papers. When distributing documents that need some explanation, this functionality can be useful.
These upgrades, according to WhatsApp, have begun rolling out to users across the globe and will be accessible to everyone in the upcoming weeks.
