TikTok is one of the most popular social networks out there, but beyond sharing fun short-form video content, TikTok can be used for more. For instance, did you know that you can actually create an opinion poll on TikTok?

In this article, you'll learn about how to create and manage a TikTok poll.

What Is a TikTok Poll?

A TikTok poll is essentially an online poll created and shared on a TikTok video. You can access the feature by using the Stickers option when creating a video.

You can use it to sample your followers' opinions about any subject. They differ from normal videos in that they are deleted after 24 hours.

You can also use it to seek advice about an important decision you're about to make or get insights on the content your followers want to see. It's simple to create, run, and manage your polls on TikTok.

A TikTok poll is different from TikTok Ask and TikTok Q&A. TikTok Ask allows you to ask open-ended questions that others can answer, while enabling TikTok Q&A allows viewers to ask you questions on your profile or during a Live video.

How to Create a TikTok Poll on the Mobile App

Creating a TikTok poll is essentially the same process whether you're using an iOS or Android device.

Here's how to create a TikTok poll using the mobile app:

1. Tap on the Create button at the bottom of your screen. When you have recorded or selected your clip, tap on the Stickers icon at the bottom of your screen.
2. Tap on Poll. This will take you to the question and answer area.

Then:

1. Tap on the Ask a question... field and enter your poll question. To edit your question, simply double-tap on it. You can also change the answers from Yes/No to This/That, Him/Her, Hot/Not, or any combination of your choice.
2. Edit your clip as desired. When you're finished, tap Next or Done.
3. Add a description, cover, and relevant tags to your polls, as you would with other videos.
4. Choose your sharing options.
5. Once you're done, tap on Post.
6. Review the warning information on the pop-up then tap Post Now and your poll will be shared.

How to View and Manage Your TikTok Poll Results

The votes are in, and it is time to count the results. After all, most of the fun in a poll is finding out what people voted for.

Here's how to view and manage your TikTok poll results:

1. Tap on Profile in the bottom-right corner of the toolbar.
2. Tap on the poll video you just created.
3. Tap on the View vote results button.

Here you can view how many people viewed your poll versus how many actually voted and how they voted. You can also view how many likes your poll has received as well as engage with respondents via comments.

If you'll like to further share the poll with more people, simply tap the three dots button beneath comments, and select how you want to share it.

You can also save, pin, duet, and stitch the poll. There are options that allow you to add it to your favorites, edit the people you tagged to participate, and adjust the privacy settings.

How to Delete a TikTok Poll

TikTok polls are automatically deleted after 24 hours. However, there may be reasons why you may want to delete yours earlier.

If you want to delete your TikTok poll at any time, here's what to do.

1. Open the poll and go to the poll results.
2. Tap on the three dots button under Comments.
3. Go to the bottom toolbar and keep scrolling left until you reach Delete, then tap on the bin icon to delete your TikTok poll.
4. Tap Delete to confirm.

Get Quality Feedback With Your TikTok Polls

Whether you're a full-time TikTok creator or simply a regular user, you can use polls to sample opinions from other TikTok users. You can run as many polls as you want provided you're creative enough to keep them fresh and engaging.

You can also cross-post your TikTok polls to other leading social networks. This can give you access to fresh insights and can broaden the scope of your audience.
