Did you know you can create a poll on Telegram without leaving the app? Polls are one of the most engaging and interactive ways to get feedback from a Telegram channel or group chat members. Members can use them to publicly state their opinions without saying anything controversial or back up their positions with facts. They are a safe, anonymous way of jumping into the debate and expressing one’s views.
In this entry, we will show you how to create a poll on Telegram across a range of computer and mobile devices.
How to Create Poll in Telegram on a PC
The Telegram app for the PC has a very user-friendly and intuitive interface. It offers many features, such as group chats, stickers, voice messages, and video calls. And with no ads ever running on the app, there’s no need to worry about being bombarded with irrelevant content every time you open the app.
One of the best things about the Telegram desktop app is that you can create a poll and get responses from other users in minutes.
Here’s how to go about it:

When running Telegram on a PC, you can also create a poll using PollBot. But what’s that?
PollBot is an automated account that runs through a script built by a third-party Telegram developer. The bot helps Telegram users to create poll questions and conduct polls.

Running a poll via PollBot occurs in three main steps:

Let’s now go over each step in detail:
