Poll people in Messages on iPhone

You can send a poll in any iMessage conversation to decide what to eat, which movie to see, where to travel, when to meet, and more. Everyone in the conversation can contribute options and watch as votes come in.

Note: You must use iMessage on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, visionOS 26, or later to start, see, or vote in a poll. Those who can’t see it receive a message that a poll was sent to the group.
