Apple revealed during WWDC 2025 that it will be introducing polls to Messages in the upcoming iOS 26 update. This feature, long requested by users, is already popular on services like WhatsApp and Telegram.
Polls in Group Chats
Users will now be able to create and participate in polls directly within group chats. This can be useful for making decisions with friends, such as choosing a brunch spot or picking a book for a book club.
Apple Intelligence Suggestions
Apple Intelligence will suggest polls based on the context of conversations. For instance, if someone asks “What should we eat?”, Apple Intelligence may prompt the group to start a poll on food choices.
While not revolutionary, this new feature brings Apple in line with other chat services, offering users a convenient way to plan and make decisions within their group chats.
