The newest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS has introduced a feature called Channel Quiz aimed at enhancing user engagement within channels. This tool enables channel administrators to craft quizzes for their followers, allowing them to input a question along with multiple answer choices, which can also include images.
Unlike polls, quizzes require the admin to designate a correct answer before sharing, emphasizing knowledge acquisition over personal opinion. Participants receive immediate feedback on their choices, with a celebratory confetti animation for correct answers. Admins can analyze the responses, though privacy settings may restrict the visibility of participant details, providing only limited information to ensure anonymity.
This feature follows its recent launch in the Android beta, suggesting a potential wider release in the near future. The focus on interactive content aims to foster a more engaging environment for users on the platform.
