WhatsApp photo polls and chat event features

According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp was recently spotted developing two new features in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.17 update. The two features included the ability to attach photos to polls, allowing users to make it look more visually appealing. The report highlighted that users can add photos as part of the options, however, they must be uniform for a more professional look. This will bring ease for brands, companies, and others to make the polls more interactive and photos add a more appealing touch when text descriptions are not working. As of now, the photo poll features will be coming to channels in the initial stage. However, it may be introduced to group chats later.

With this new feature, users will be able to create events by adding the date, name of the event, and description.
