How to do a poll on Snapchat

One of Snapchat’s lesser-known features is the ability to create polls and have your friends and followers respond to your questions in a simple but interactive way.

Snapchat has a ‘poll’ feature that allows users to pose a question and gather opinions from their friends and followers by posting it for responses.

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.

How to create a poll on Snapchat

If you want to make a poll on Snapchat, doing so is very simple. Just simply follow these instructions:

1. Open Snapchat.
2. Take a picture using the capture button, or upload an image from your gallery.
3. From the column of icons on the right, select the stickers button (square folded at the corner.)
4. Tap the yellow icon that says ‘poll.’
5. In the ‘Ask a question’ section, write the question you want to ask your friends.
6. Tap the two emojis to change the answer options, then click ‘Done.’
7. Pinch and zoom to adjust the size and location of the poll.
8. Post your story.

Step 1: Open Snapchat and create a post

Open up the Snapchat app and take a photo that you want to be the background of your poll. You can also upload a photo from your phone or use a saved photo from your saved Snapchat Memories.

Then tap on the “tab” button (the one that looks like a square with a folded corner) to get to the stickers page.

Step 2: Add a poll sticker

At the top of the page, there is a row of yellow buttons that act as shortcuts to popular options. Tap on the one that says “Poll” – it’s usually the second one from the right. This will add the poll sticker to your post.

Step 3: Write a question you want answered

After pressing the poll button, you will be taken back to your post where the poll sticker has been added. Now you can tap on “Ask a question” to add the question that you want answered.

You can then tap on each of the two emojis, if you’re not happy with the thumbs up and thumbs down, to change the response options. This will be what your friends and followers will answer your question with.

You can also move the sticker around and make it as big or as small as you want. When you’re happy with how it looks, you can go ahead and post it to your story or send it to your contacts.

These polls are a great way to get your friends or followers to interact with your content and can be used for a variety of different things.
