One of its features that I will describe in this article is the creation of anonymous polls.
If you come across one of them, you probably have a question how anonymous is it?
I can immediately reassure you because no one can know your chosen answer.
Polls in GroupMe are entirely unknown.
Lets take a closer look at how it works.
What are anonymous polls in GroupMe?
Its often the case that you have one common question to solve in a group.
For this purpose, the GroupMe utility has a handy feature for creatinganonymous polls.
Not even the group administrator or the poll creator.
This function is completely anonymous.
You will only see how many people voted for this or that poll.
Keep in mind that it is impossible to delete a poll.
It will remain in the history of messages in the group forever.
There are also certain restrictions for polls.
You cannot create more than 0 active polls at a time.
However, you’re able to always view overdue polls in the Overdue tab of your group chat.
You will also need to set a time limit within which the poll will be active.
The minimum duration of polls is 15 minutes.
Usually, this is more than enough.
It does not matter how many people are in your group.
Polls can be made further if you have all two people in the group.
After that:
The poll will then be available to all users.
Participants can change their answers if the poll is not closed.
So the poll results will not be completely accurate and can change at any second.
Note that every poll has a timer.
At the end of this timer, the poll will also be closed and finished.
If youre tired of an annoying poll flitting between messages, its easy to hide it.
This will remove the results of the poll from your correspondence.
