Anonymous WhatsApp Polls — Because Nobody Should Know How You Voted
WhatsApp now has a built-in option to hide voter names on group polls. When that is enough, use it. When you need a link across groups, a QR code, or voters without WhatsApp, use AnonPolls.

When a link poll still helps
One poll across several groups or channels
Paste the same link in multiple WhatsApp groups, channels, or chats and collect one set of totals.
People outside the group or without WhatsApp
Anyone with the link can vote — no WhatsApp account and no phone number required.
QR code for in-person use
Show a QR code on a slide, poster, or classroom screen so people vote from their phones without joining a chat first.
Results page anyone can view
The poll page stays available after the chat moves on, so live or final totals are easy to share.
Classroom or office mode on shared Wi-Fi
When many people share one network, classroom or office mode lets each browser vote once instead of locking the whole room to a single vote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hide voter names in WhatsApp?
When you create a poll in a WhatsApp group, look for the option to hide voter names (added in August 2026). Source: https://blog.whatsapp.com/your-group-chats-upgraded-introducing-better-polls-all-and-more. WhatsApp hasn't said whether the poll creator can still see votes when names are hidden.
When is WhatsApp’s built-in poll enough?
When everyone is in a single WhatsApp group and already has WhatsApp, the built-in poll with hide voter names is often enough.
When should I use a link poll instead?
Use a link when you need one poll across several groups or channels, people outside the group or without WhatsApp, a QR code for in-person use, a results page anyone can view, or classroom or office mode on shared Wi-Fi.
Can the WhatsApp group admin see who voted on AnonPolls?
No. AnonPolls never collects WhatsApp identities, phone numbers, or any personal information. Results show totals only.
