Master Snapchat Polls: How to Do a Poll on Snapchat Like a Pro

If you want to know how to do a poll on Snapchat, it’s simple: take a photo or video, tap the snapchat sticker icon, and select “Poll on Snapchat” Type your question, set the two response options, and place the sticker on your snap before sharing it to your Story. Polls make your snaps more engaging and help you see what people really think in just a few taps.

Snapchat polls are a simple way to get instant feedback from your friends and followers. They let you ask questions, see real-time answers, and make your Snap stories more fun and interactive. Whether it’s picking an outfit, planning weekend activities, or checking what your followers think, polls make it easy to get everyone’s opinion quickly.

Snapchat polls are interactive stickers that let you directly ask your followers questions in your snaps or stories. You can create simple “Yes or No” polls or add snapchat emojis for more individualized responses.

You can add polls as stickers to your photo and video snaps. After you post, your friends can vote by tapping an emoji, and you’ll see the results in real-time in your Story insights or chat window.

Snapchat allows users to make poll on Snapchat via the third-party app Polly too, which allows users to respond anonymously. While native polls show the user who voted for what, Polly polls keep the identities hidden which is perfect for getting honest feedback.

A proper account setup helps your friends identify you and helps make your polls more interactive. For a more engaging profile, try doing this:

1. Download the Snapchat App
   Snаpchat works on both iOS аnd Android phones. Simply go to the App Store or Google Play Store, download the app, and open it to get started.
2. Create Your Account
   To get started on Snapchat, create an account with your email or phone number. Choose a username that’s simple to recall and represents who you are. This might be your name, or a funny and imaginative one can work too.
3. Set Up and Optimize Your Profile
   Add a profile picture that shows who you are, a clear selfie or something that represents your style works best. Write a short, friendly bio so your friends know a little about you. Don’t forget to sync your contacts so you can connect and share your polls with everyone easily.

 It takes a few seconds to create your first poll on Snapchat. To do so, follow these simple steps:

1. Open Snapchat and Take a Snap
   • When you open Snapchat, it goes directly to the camera view. Take a picture or a quick video that matches the theme of your poll. For instance, if your poll is “Which outfit looks better?”, take a picture of both outfits.
2. Tap the Sticker Icon
   • Once you snap a picture, check the icons to the right of the screen. Press the sticker icon, which looks like a square with a folded corner. That opens the sticker menu, where you can use polls, emojis, and Snapchat GIFs.
3. Select the “Poll” Sticker Option
   • To create a new poll, go to the sticker menu and select the yellow “Poll” sticker. You’ll then see a box where you can type in the question as well as choose the emojis that you want to use for the answers.
4. Customize Your Poll Question
   • Type a clear and fun question that encourages engagement. You can replace the default emojis with creative options that suit your topic, for example, using expressive symbols for a selfie poll or food icons for meal comparisons. Adjust the poll’s size and position by pinching and dragging it on your snap.
   • Fun and casual 
     • Coffee or tea?
     • Cat or dog? 
     • Sunrise or sunset?
     • What’s your favorite color?
     • What’s your favorite food? 
5. Post or Send Your Poll
   • When you are satisfied with how your poll on Snapchat looks, click on the “Send To” button. You can add it to My Story for all your friends to view, share it to a Private Story, or send it to friends individually. As soon as it’s active, your followers will be able to vote right away.

Snapchat automatically tracks your poll’s performance, so you can see how many people voted and what they chose.

If you want to collect anonymous votes, Polly is the best choice. It’s a third-party app designed to integrate with Snapchat polls.

Polly is a free platform for creating polls that integrates with Snapchat, Instagram, and other social networks. Unlike Snapchat, with Polly you can hold polls and keep participants’ votes and identity anonymous.

1. Download the Polly app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Create a new poll and add your question, along with multiple answer options.
3. Once done, click “Share on Snapchat.”
4. A link will be generated through Polly; either send it directly or paste it on your Snapchat story.
5. Your friends can click the link to vote, and you can see your results privately in the Polly app..

Checking your Snapchat poll results in chat is super simple:

1. Open the chat where you sent the polling snap.
2. Tap “View Poll” under the snap.
3. Now you can see how many votes all the different options got.
4. Tap on any option to see a list of users who voted for that option.

It’s best to share the poll directly with friends instead of posting it to your story.

• Use Creative Poll Questions  on Snap
  Snapchat polls should go beyond simple “yes” or “no” questions. Ask engaging questions like “Which snack should I pick?” or “How do you like my new hairstyle?” that encourage more responses.
• Add Stickers, GIFs, and Captions
  Use relevant stickers, GIFs, and text that relate to your polls. This creates a fun and visually appealing experience for your audience.
• Choose Snap Poll Times Wisely
  You should think about when your friends are likely to be online. Most people are free to respond in the evenings or on the weekends.
• Keep Questions Short and Fun
  Make questions as quick and easy as possible to answer; people love that. A fun and interesting question will motivate people to respond and vote.

A week ago, I made my first Snapchat poll just for fun. I asked, “Which outfit looks better — black or green?” and posted it on my story. Within a few minutes, people started voting, and I was shocked to see over 100 votes in less than an hour.
