WhatsApp has been working on ways to get people more involved in groups. The latest beta version 2.25.24.30 of the application for Android has enabled admins to run quizzes for public members.

What is it#
Quizzes are a new type of interactive message that is similar to polls, but with one key difference: only one of the options is correct. This means that admins can create quizzes, specify a list of possible answers and determine which one is correct. This feature is currently being tested and is scheduled for release in a future update. It will let you set up quizzes for the subscribers, get them to interact and share feedback. Polls only let you choose from a list of pre-prepared options, but quizzes let you respond individually. All answers are kept confidential and are only visible to admins, so subscribers can freely share their thoughts and it`s easier to analyze their wishes and preferences.
Why is this necessary#
-
Unlike polls, quizzes encourage people to take part in their channel`s life by motivating them to share their opinions rather than simply choosing one of the options. Subscribers can select an answer and find out immediately if it is correct. However, they will only see how many people answered the same as them after they have interacted with the quiz.
-
This new approach fosters honest voting by providing answers first and then opening access to the results. Besides, it helps maintain interest, as people are not influenced by the choice of the majority before casting their vote. This improves honesty and transparency.
-
With this feature, WhatsApp is set to provide group admins access to assess knowledge of the audience, collect relevant information or simply entertain the public. For instance, educational channels can use quizzes to reinforce learning, while business accounts can use them to raise customer awareness. Quizzes can be ultimately used for multiple scenarios, from teaching students to facilitating effective communication by means of engaging interaction.
When it is available#
This new feature is under development and will be included in an upcoming release. We will keep you in the know and post additional material as soon as more details become available.
Conclusion#
WhatsApp seems to be striving to implement additional tools to enhance communication between channel owners and subscribers. This will turn groups into interactive spaces where feedback, suggestions and contributions from user communities can play a vital role in shaping future content and activities.
