About This Feature

Overview

Group Poll is a built-in collaboration feature in WPS group chats on macOS for quick opinion collection and result counting. When you create a poll, you can enter a poll title, add multiple options, set a deadline, and turn on multiple selection or anonymous voting as needed. After the poll is sent, it appears as a card in the group chat so members can respond and review results in one place.

Core tasks include:

Start a group poll from the bottom toolbar in a group chat window.
Enter the poll title and options.
Set a poll deadline.
Allow multiple answers.
Turn on anonymous voting.

This feature works well for team decisions, event time collection, group feedback, and lightweight confirmations.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you create a poll directly inside a macOS group chat, with options, a deadline, multiple answers, anonymous voting, and a chat card for results.	Microsoft Forms lets you control who can respond, whether names are recorded, and start or end dates; it also supports anonymous polls in Teams meetings.	Google Forms supports multiple choice and checkboxes, and lets you publish a form while controlling email collection and response limits.	Notion Forms supports multiple question types, anonymous responses, and form sharing, with responses stored in a database; creating and customizing forms is limited to desktop and web apps.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms support public web links, multiple participants, and form-based collection flows, with a focus on agreements and signatures.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The poll entry is built into the group chat window for faster in-chat decisions. Distinct: Multiple answers, anonymous voting, and deadline settings are handled in one creation flow.	Compared with WPS: More focused on standalone forms or meeting polls instead of a native group-chat poll entry.	Compared with WPS: Better suited to standalone form distribution and collection, with a longer path for real-time chat polling.	Compared with WPS: More database-centered, and mobile apps cannot create or customize forms.	Compared with WPS: More focused on signing and public web form workflows than chat-based team polling.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Group Poll is a practical fit for teams that already collaborate in group chats and want to collect decisions without switching to a separate form workflow. If your needs are closer to public surveys, database-driven analysis, or signature processes, the other platforms may fit those scenarios better.
