Signal Adds Encrypted In‑Chat Polls for Group Decisions

Polls are end-to-end encrypted, with results limited to participants and voter identities visible.

Overview

  • The Signal Foundation rolled out a native polling feature inside group chats to streamline decision-making.
  • Users launch a poll via the “+” button next to the message field, then enter one question with up to ten options.
  • Creators can choose single-choice or multiple-choice voting to suit the decision needed.
  • Votes are not anonymous, allowing group members to see who selected each option.
  • The feature is available now in the latest Signal releases for Android, iOS and Desktop after updating the app.
