The polls

When selected, it is pasted over the video or photo of our Instagram Story, being able to place it in any place and size as a custom stickerThe difference is that it is completely customizable. Of course, always considering the possibility of giving only two answers.
We can ask the question by clicking on the upper text. This is how you can write the message that gives rise to the dichotomy, or the survey header. And the same with both answers. A click on each space allows you to write what you want In this way it is personalized to our liking.
Vote Count
The interesting thing about the polls in Instagram Stories is that the user who poses them has all the details. Once their followers vote, the user can review who has viewed the story and who voted whatIn this way, everything is registered to know if the closest contacts think one thing and the unknown followers another, for example.
Meanwhile, voters can find out the response rate for one option or another once they have cast their vote. A number appears instead of the answer once you click on one or the other option That's how comfortable it is to know if you are part of the majority or the minority . Or if both answers are opposite.
