@signal I'm guessing you're not an official Signal account? If not, what's the best way to get feedback back to them?

https://signal.org/blog/polls/ says "but poll responses are not anonymous and anyone can see who has voted for which option in a poll."

That's anyone in the group chat who can see the poll, not actually anyone in the unrestricted sense, right? Right?

ETA: yes it is just people in the group chat. Message sent to signal through official channels. Thanks all!

@gopal @signal Even your response doesn't clearly state that no one else can see the responses. I'm confident that's the case, but Signal should say so clearly.

@david42
I agree. This sentence in the blog is very badly written.

Polls are end-to-end encrypted and only visible to members of the group chat, but poll responses are not anonymous and anyone can see who has voted for which option in a poll.

Specifically the word anyone make this very confusing. I've put a feedback in the signal forum. Hopefully they'll correct it.
