WhatsApp Adds Smarter Polls, @all Mentions for Group Chats

WhatsApp is an app people use to send messages.

It is making group chats easier for everyone.

In a group chat, many people talk together at once.

People can now make polls, which are questions with choices to vote on.

They can set a time for the poll to end, so voting stops automatically.

They can also hide who voted for which answer, so people feel safe sharing their choice.

If someone makes a typo in the poll question, they can fix it within 15 minutes.

In very big groups, only the leaders can tell everyone at once with @all.

People can also make a new smaller group from a big one with just one tap.

That helps friends plan a surprise party without telling everyone.
