Facebook outs GIF-supported polls for main app

You might have noticed Instagram recently added a poll feature to its app. Its parent company Facebook is refreshing that idea (they’ve had this before) for its web and mobile apps. Now, you can ask friends and family your important life questions (or the silliest ones) with the help of GIFs, too. The poll feature will allow you two options and let you use GIFs as responses to said question. You can access this feature by selecting the “What’s on your mind” text box and pick Poll from there.

You don’t have a limit for how long the questions should be but the responses need to be limited to 25 characters. But you can use GIFs for this, which you can access when you hit the camera or GIF icon in the option line for responses. You can select how long you want to have the poll up. Your options are: one day, one week, custom, or never. For your followers who answer your poll, they won’t be anonymous, these responses will be recorded for the poster to see.
