@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!

@signal There remains a question of what happens if the group chat membership changes between when the poll is sent and when the response is sent. Presumably the response is sent to and can be decrypted by members as of when the response goes out. What does a new member, who missed the poll message, see?

@david42
That's right. Everyone in the group where the poll is run has complete access to the poll results.

@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.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but support@signal.org has worked for me in the past.
