Single poll feature: Using this feature now, people could create a poll that can be voted only once. This is an added advantage and people can gather feedback from a group or communities easily. Since this feature was launched last November, people were able to create polls easily. Earlier, people who respond to the polls can provide multiple responses, but now this can be turned off while creating a poll and make it to a single response from one person.

How to add captions while sharing images and documents in WhatsApp
This option is not new, but it has been updated with some changes.

With the recent update, users can either keep the original caption or delete the caption. Also, now there is a feature to edit and write a new caption, which is good to have.
