ToggleHow to Create a Poll in TikTok
—
For those unfamiliar with TikTok, creating a poll may still be a mystery.
A poll feature allows engagement by asking your followers a question with multiple-choice answers. This interaction helps you understand your followers’ preferences better.
The process of adding a poll to your TikTok videos is easy. This guide will lead you through the steps and show you how to check the results.
How to Create a Poll in TikTok on the iPhone App
If you’re using TikTok, you’ll notice the difference in setting up a poll compared to platforms like Instagram. Unlike Instagram’s Create Mode that houses various features like polls in one place, TikTok requires you to upload a video first before using the poll feature.
If you’re new to this feature and use an iPhone, here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Access the TikTok app on your iPhone.
- Tap the icon at the bottom of the screen to start a new video (the white plus sign in a black rectangle with blue and pink trim.)
- Generate your video or select one from your gallery. Once you have your preferred video, tap “Next.”
- Access the editing screen, then tap the “Stickers” icon at the bottom of the screen (the smiley face). In the “Stickers” menu, select the “Poll” option.
- Enter the question you want to ask in your poll. Then, input the response choices for users. Examples include “Yes” or “No,” or even “Sometimes” or “Never.”
In the top right corner of the screen, select “Done” once you are satisfied with your poll. Then, at the bottom right of the screen, tap “Next.” Proceed by adding your caption and tags to the video.
Ensure your video is ready, then click on “Post” at the bottom right of the screen to publish both your video and poll on TikTok.
