Creating Polls in Telegram Groups and Channels

The Telegram has a voting tool that allows you to make surveys in groups, channels and individual conversations in a simple way. Missing in WhatsApp, the feature operates via the @Vote bot, which enables you to create a main question and answer options directly through the chat. The virtual robot counts only unique votes made by people with the Telegram account, and shows the results in real time.

The function can be used in groups of friends when deciding the location of the next meeting or trip. In addition, the poll bot lets you know the views of channel members on the platform.

Telegram restricts message access by bots that work within groups and conversations. By default, robots can only read mentions and responses directed at them, as well as instructions with the "/" command. The rule only applies to bots that are administrators of groups and channels, by user's decision. In addition, bots can read all the placements that they are members of.

In the case of @Vote, only responses to poll questions are recorded. Other chat messages are protected and can not be intercepted by him in a group.

Here's how to use the tool to create polls on Telegram.

Step 1. Access the @Vote button on Telegram ( t.me/vote ) and tap "Start" to activate the robot. The first step is to write the central question of the poll. Normally send to record.
