<p>Since we first added <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls"><strong>polls</strong></a> for <strong>groups</strong> and <strong>channels</strong>, they&#39;ve been used for everything from deciding where to have lunch to organizing <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48802125">leaderless protests</a>. Today we&#39;re expanding the range of possibilities with <strong>three new kinds</strong> of <strong>Telegram polls</strong>.</p>

<h3><a class="anchor" name="visible-votes" href="#visible-votes"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Visible Votes</h3>
<p>Previously, all polls on Telegram were anonymous. With this update, you can create polls that allow everyone in the group to see <strong>who voted for what</strong>. Now you will know exactly which friends you disagree with on the matter of pineapple and pizza.</p>
<div class="blog_image_wrap blog_medium_image_wrap">
<a href="/file/464001719/1/Iz2e1dzZz3U.82243/964fecc478216900d6" target="_blank"><img src="/file/464001233/2/nLkZM5oG6dg.18875/96ab44ab310ef583cf" title="Honesty not included." alt="A poll that shows who voted for which option" srcset="/file/464001719/1/Iz2e1dzZz3U.82243/964fecc478216900d6 , 2x" /></a>
</div>
<p>Naturally, you can still create <strong>anonymous polls</strong> to make sure nobody finds out it was you who voted for broccoli instead of cookies.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="multiple-answers" href="#multiple-answers"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Multiple Answers</h3>
<p>One of the best ways to settle the score is with polls that allow people to select <strong>multiple answers</strong>. Scheduling events, or choosing a playlist of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">songs</a> for a party sometimes you need more than one choice.</p>

<p>Our aunt who has a knack for statistics and exploring bizarre correlations kept asking for this feature and we just couldn&#39;t say no. (33% of developers who didn&#39;t refuse this request were also found to be addicted to cheese.)</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="quiz-mode" href="#quiz-mode"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Quiz Mode</h3>
<p>For the game show guru and <em>“Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”</em> contestant in all of us, polls now have <strong>Quiz Mode</strong>. Such polls have one <strong>correct answer</strong> and can power anything from <strong>trivia games</strong> to <strong>public service exams</strong>.</p>

<p>As if guessing right wasn&#39;t sweet enough, correct answers will trigger a shower of confetti.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="creating-polls" href="#creating-polls"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Creating Polls</h3>
<p>Polls can be created in <strong>groups</strong> or <strong>channels</strong> (they feel lonely in one-on-one chats). Simply choose the <strong>“Poll”</strong> option in the attachment menu. Type in your question, add answer options, choose the settings that fit your purpose best and you&#39;re ready to go:</p>

</div>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="bot-api-and-quiz-bot" href="#bot-api-and-quiz-bot"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Bot API and Quiz Bot</h3>
<p>All the new poll types are supported in today&#39;s update to our <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#january-23-2019">Bot API</a>, so bot developers can build on this new functionality.</p>
<p>As an example, we&#39;ve created a <a href="https://t.me/quizbot"><strong>Quiz Bot</strong></a> that lets you create <strong>multi-question quizzes</strong> and <strong>share</strong> them with others. It also lets you add text or media before questions to help create <strong>exam-style prompts</strong> with graphs and tables or better yet, your own <a href="https://t.me/QuizBot?start=MemeQuiz"><em>Know Your Meme</em></a> tests.</p>
<p>Once your quiz is ready, you can <strong>share</strong> it to a group or channel or invite users to answer questions privately, in a chat with the bot. To see how this works, try our demo quiz: <a href="https://t.me/quizbot?start=GreatMinds">Who is Who in the &#39;Great Minds&#39; sticker pack</a>.</p>
<div class="blog_image_wrap blog_medium_image_wrap">
<a href="/file/464001279/1/5aDOxFSwPfY.190469/28f40c248f5a1f917c" target="_blank"><img src="/file/464001785/4/kYO0qdirU6I.45883/bc573a60a08e26efcd" title="Some like it bot" alt="Demo Quiz" srcset="/file/464001279/1/5aDOxFSwPfY.190469/28f40c248f5a1f917c , 2x" /></a>
</div>
<p>The bot will keep tabs on how many questions users got right and how much time it took them to complete the quiz. It also keeps a <strong>global leaderboard</strong> for each quiz you create.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="message-corners" href="#message-corners"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Message Corners</h3>
<p>In addition to the new polls, our apps just got a new visual setting. If you find your Telegram messages too hip to be square (or round, depending on your platform), you can tweak the appearance of <strong>message bubbles</strong> in Settings:</p>
