Simple Poll on Mobile

1. Create a poll
  1. In any channel or DM, tap the message box, type /poll , and send. The creation window opens.
  2. Enter your question, add each answer option, pick a poll type, and (optional) open Settings for anonymous/add-options.
  3. Tap Preview to check it, then Create Poll to post it.
  • Quick version: type it all inline — /poll "What's for lunch?" "Pizza" "Tacos" "Sushi"  (first quote is the  question, the rest are options)

2. Vote
  1. Open the channel with the poll.
  2. Tap the button for the option you want — your vote records immediately.
