Three new features have been added to WhatsApp to improve user experience. The three new capabilities are polling with a single response (single vote poll), document captions, and transmitting captioned photographs. According to KompasTekno’s surveillance on Friday, 5/5/2023, Android users in Indonesia can use WhatsApp version 2.23.8.76 to take advantage of the three newest features. Here are WhatsApp’s three new features’ complete functions.
Polling mode single vote
Users can only select one answer in the single vote option of WhatsApp’s new poll feature. (WhatsApp) Since November 2022, WhatsApp has really had a polling option available. With this function, users can poll each other right in the chat window. However, at the time, this poll function had a default setting that let users select multiple options. According to a written statement received by KompasTekno on Friday, 5/5/2023, WhatsApp has now added a button to the polling feature called “Allow multiple answers” to provide users more control.
The poll automatically switches to single vote mode when the “Allow multiple answers” icon is enabled, which means that each user can only select one response from the poll’s several answer alternatives. Because each user can only select one option, the results of the poll will be more precise when using the single vote polling technique. However, users can still select numerous answers to the poll when the “Allow multiple answers” toggle is turned on.
How to create a poll in the single vote mode on WhatsApp:
Open WhatsApp
Select the desired personal/group chat
Click the paper clip icon
Select the “Polls” menu
When the question and answer options are desired
Then turn off the toggle “Allow multiple answers” to create a single vote poll
Or leave the “Allow multiple answers” toggle on to create a poll with multiple answers
still selected. forward-facing pictures with captions
Photo/video captions can now be forwarded in WhatsApp. (WhatsApp) Users of WhatsApp can currently add captions or captions immediately to any image or video that is sent to the chat group. However, the caption is lost when a photo or video is forwarded, erased, forwarded, or forwarded to another chat room. The user must thus copy the description or type it on their own. Now that WhatsApp has released an upgrade, images and videos can also include subtitles when they are sent to another chat group. The option to forward pictures and videos with captions has been available to Indonesian users for some time, despite the fact that it has just been revealed. This is according to KompasTekno.
Captions for documents
With WhatsApp’s new functionality, users may now annotate documents before transferring them in chat groups. (WhatsApp) Captions for documents are another recent addition to WhatsApp. Users can now quickly add a caption in the “Add caption” column after choosing a document before clicking the “Send” button. Users could only send papers in the past; captions were sent separately. Users can easily provide a description for each document they transmit thanks to the document caption function. Users no longer have to bother creating document captions or descriptions in separate messages as a result.
The process for adding captions to documents is the same as that for sharing WhatsApp photographs or videos. Select the document you wish to send by clicking the attachment icon, then enter a caption in the column before touching the send button.
