WhatsApp is working on a couple of features including a polls feature in group chats and a new blur tool.

WhatsApp is usually seen working on multiple features at a time and it’s no different in the latest report that suggests the chat is working on a polls feature for group chats. Moreover, it also seems to be working on a blur tool for the photo editor. Let’s take a look at them in detail.

A WABetaInfo report suggests that WhatsApp is developing a feature that allows creating polls right within your WhatsApp groups. It also posted a screenshot where WhatsApp asks to enter the question of the poll to send in a WhatsApp group. Since the feature is under development, not many details are available at this point. However, the tracker says that the screenshot is a confirmation that WhatsApp is really planning to introduce polls on WhatsApp.

Using polls, you can ask for a question and other people can vote for the answer. Further, it is said that polls will only be available in WhatsApp groups and they are end-to-end encrypted as well. The next feature WhatsApp is working on is a blur tool. The blur tool will be added when WhatsApp releases the redesign for the drawing editor.
