Once upon a time in the realm of iMessage, the noble undertaking of polling was deemed a great tool for planning outings, deciding on dinner menus, and making decisions in a much more splendid manner.

In the mystical land of iMessage, one may also fashion polls within regular chats, though their utility truly shines in group settings where camaraderie thrives and opinions abound.
