Instagram releases polls for Direct conversations; see how to use | Social networks

Instagram released on Tuesday (14) the use of polls in Direct conversations for all users. Available in the app for iPhone (iOS) and Android smartphones, the resource appears as an alternative to the exhibition generated with public surveys. When sending a poll to a person or conversation group on the app, users receive responses only from profiles that are known or have already interacted by direct message.

Therefore, the ideal resource for flirting, asking about your look for friends or just having fun creating curious polls. For companies, the possibility of creating votes with customers can generate results in product launches or promotions. To learn how to create a poll via Instagram Direct message, check out the tutorial we prepared.
