WhatsApp photo polls and chat event features

According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp was recently spotted developing two new features in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.17 update. The two features included the ability to attach photos to polls, allowing users to make it look more visually appealing. The report highlighted that users can add photos as part of the options, however, they must be uniform for a more professional look. This will bring ease for brands, companies, and others to make the polls more interactive and photos add a more appealing touch when text descriptions are not working. As of now, the photo poll features will be coming to channels in the initial stage. However, it may be introduced to group chats later.

Apart from new poll features, WhatsApp is also working on bringing private chat events, allowing users to create events in individual chats. Earlier, the chat event feature was restricted to group chats, however, now it can be added to individual chats as well. With this new feature, users will be able to create events by adding the date, name of the event, and description. Apart from basic details, users can also attach location, audio or video calls for online meetings.

As of now, both of these features are under development, and they may soon roll out to WhatsApp in the upcoming weeks or months. Therefore, make sure to keep your app up to date with the latest updates.
