WhatsApp would be about to incorporate surveys into its group chats.

WhatsApp seeks not to be left behind and continue to maintain its position as the most popular instant messaging application. That is why it seeks to add new features to its application in order to compete.

Let's remember that the main competitors of WhatsApp such as Telegram or Signal have better features. That is why the company owned by Meta seeks to expand its own.

As it has been known, WhatsApp would be about to incorporate surveys within the groups. This is a feature that Telegram had already incorporated for some time.

This new feature has been leaked

It is likely that, within a short time, we will be able to start seeing the polls.

WABetaInfo has been the one who has leaked this new feature and has ensured that it will be available very soon. This leak corresponds to the test version 2.22.6.70.

However, despite the fact that this feature is already available in the source code, the truth is that it has not yet been tested. In future beta updates it is likely to be available and in a few months it will be available to end users.

Further details of this feature, such as the number of responses or their configuration, are still unknown. However, when it comes to security, everything seems to indicate that these will be encrypted. That is, the surveys are going to be safe, which makes them much more attractive.

WhatsApp, one step behind its competitors

WhatsApp needs to innovate in the sector and not just implement features that its competitors have.

WhatsApp is, without a doubt, the most popular instant messaging application. This is something that is not up for discussion and has a huge advantage over its competitors.

However, this company has not been concerned with innovation, that is, despite the fact that it is including new features from time to time, the reality is that these are not “advances for the sector”.

That is, the "new" features of WhatsApp are features that are already implemented in the competition. That is why this company, despite being more popular, is always one step behind its competitors.

Although this is not something really "bad", the truth is that more is expected from a company like this. In any case, let's hope that WhatsApp very soon will begin to offer features that differentiate it from its competitors and that are not simply copied features.
