Adding a poll to your Facebook story, step by step
Create a story and choose "Poll"
"Poll" adds an interactive question to your story. Tap "Create story", take or pick a photo, then select the "Poll" tool.
Write the question
Customize the question and the two answer options. Type your question and customize the two answers ("YES" / "NO" by default).
Publish the story
"Share to story" publishes the poll to your friends. Position the poll wherever you like, then tap "Share to story".
Good to know
Your story now shows an "interactive poll": your friends vote with one tap and you can see "who answered what". Like any story, it disappears after "24 hours".
Good to know
- You can see "who voted" and for which answer in the story's views.
- The answers are "customizable": not just YES/NO.
- The poll disappears along with the story, after "24 hours".
