While instant messaging apps like Telegram While it's easy to connect with friends and family around the world, it also leaves room for miscommunication. Because people are physically distant, the benefits of face-to-face communication are no longer enjoyed. An example of the benefits of physical contact is the ability to see people's expressions as they speak. One way to reduce miscommunication is with instant messaging apps like Telegram In polls. Polls are very useful in group settings and can limit a conversation topic or response to specific groups. Here's how to create a poll on Telegram.
