The poll mode that shows users the correct answer after voting is called Quiz mode. Telegram’s quiz-style polls allow the creator to designate one correct option, which is revealed when a participant answers.
Quiz mode is different from a regular Telegram poll. Standard polls are designed to measure opinions or preferences, while quiz polls are built around a right-or-wrong answer. A creator can also add an explanation that appears after someone selects an incorrect option.
Telegram introduced quiz-style polling as part of a broader expansion of its poll features. Polls can be used in groups and channels, and quiz-style polls are particularly suited to education, contests and trivia games. Telegram’s Quiz Bot can also turn individual questions into multi-question quizzes with scoring and leaderboards.
The main source of confusion is the word “poll”: Quiz mode is still a poll type, but it is not the same as “Poll mode” or “Answer mode.” Telegram’s own interface uses the exact label “Quiz Mode,” making that the canonical answer for this question.
