·         Tap and hold the microphone icon at the bottom of the channel screen.

·         Slide your finger up to the lock icon (optional) to keep recording without holding the microphone.

·         Swipe your finger to the left to cancel the recording.

·         Release the microphone icon or swipe your finger to the right to send the voice note.

Notes:

·         Polls and voice notes are currently rolling out to all WhatsApp users, so you may not have them yet. If you don't see them, keep your app updated and wait for the feature to reach your device.

·         Voice notes can only be played back within the WhatsApp channel. They cannot be downloaded or saved separately.

·         You can edit polls after creating them by tapping on the poll and then on the three dots menu. You can change the question, edit or add answer options, or close the poll.

·         You can view poll results by tapping on the "View answers" button near the poll.
