San Francisco, April 1: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a feature on Windows beta which disables multiple answers within polls. A new option is available within the poll creator which allows users to force other people to select only one answer, reports WABetaInfo.

As respondents are forced to select the option they firmly believe in, this new feature will result in more accurate polls. Moreover, this feature can be especially helpful for queries that only need one response as the poll will be more relevant. WhatsApp New Community Feature: Meta-Owned Platform Rolls Out Full-Width Messaging Interface in Announcement Groups on iOS Beta.
