You might have seen people adding polls to their posts on Snapchat. Here’s how you can create a poll on your Snapchat stories and photos.

Snapchat is one of the most popular ways for users across the world to connect with friends online. It also allows them to exchange media and direct messages, as well as post stories for their followers.

The platform has a ‘poll’ feature, which means users can input a question that they want to get opinions on and post it for their friends and followers to respond to.

You can do this to get opinions on your outfit for the day or for a meal you’re eating, and just about anything else. If you want to create a poll on Snapchat, here’s how to do it.
