WhatsApp has released a new update, version 23.8.78, for iOS users which includes a new feature that allows the creators of polls to limit the choices to only one. According to a WaBetaInfo report, this feature will help ensure that users are selecting the most accurate and relevant option in situations where only one answer is required. The update also includes other previously announced features, such as the ability to create custom stickers and add new messages when removing captions from forwarded media.

In addition, users can now choose to disable the feature that allows participants to choose multiple answers in polls, further improving the accuracy of poll results. While some accounts may receive these features in the coming weeks, it is recommended to update WhatsApp regularly to get the latest features as soon as possible.
