How to make a poll on Instagram Stories to engage your followers

• To make an Instagram Poll, start by creating a new Story post by swiping right on Instagram’s home screen.
• Ask a yes or no question or any question with two options, then share the poll to your Story.
• View the results of your poll at any time within 24 hours of posting by swiping up on the Story slide.

Instagram polls are a wonderful way to engage with your Instagram followers, whether they are used for amusement or unofficial research. You can alter the question, the two possible answers (or just keep with a simple yes or no), and the background from your camera roll.

When the votes start coming in, you can check out the results and even see a breakdown of who cast each vote and how many people there were that chose each choice. You can share the results with your followers after gathering responses so they can see how people voted overall (but not who voted for what).

Here is the procedure.

How to create an Instagram Poll on your Story

Tap the Stickers icon, which looks like a square smiley face, at the top of the screen to pull up a menu of post additions.

In the pop-up menu, tap the Poll icon to ask a question with two answer prompts. To ask a sliding scale question, tap the Sliding Scale icon, which should be located next to the Poll sticker option. 

Tap the Ask a question… field, then type your question or a quick phrase on whatever topic you want people to vote on. For a regular poll, tap the Yes and No boxes to change the responses, or keep the boxes as-is if that works for your question. For a sliding scale poll, select an emoji to add to the sliding scale. 

1. Open the Instagram application. To add a Story, swipe right on the screen or tap your profile icon in the top-left corner.
2. You can take a snapshot by hitting the bottom-right circle, or you can select a photograph or video from your camera roll and share it by tapping the bottom-left picture symbol. Alternatively, you can tap the “Aa” Create icon to bring up a white background.
3. To display a menu of post additions, tap the Stickers icon, which resembles a square smiley face, at the top of the screen.
4. Tap the Poll icon in the pop-up menu to pose a query with two possible responses. Tap the Sliding Scale icon, which ought to be next to the Poll sticker choice, to submit a sliding scale question.
5. When prompted, put your question or a brief sentence about the subject you want people to vote on in the Ask a question… section. If your question can be answered with the responses as they are, leave the Yes and No boxes untapped for a typical poll. Choose an emoji to be added to the sliding scale in a poll.
6. Tap Done when you’re done editing the question and answer fields.
7. Select Your Story or Close Friends to share the poll with everyone who follows you on social media. In order to submit the poll through direct message, you may also look for a buddy or pick one from the list of suggestions.
