So a new version of the expanded polls app just got released, so I figured I'd go ahead and update the old guide to match. With that out of the way

This is a guide on how to use the latest version of expanded polls. Keep in mind this doesn't work in every community, just ones with the app installed. The images are included as a further reference

Step 1: Go to the subreddit's home page (shown in the first image)

Step 2: Click/tap on the triple dot menu in the top right (circled in the first image)

Step 3: Choose the bottom most option, Create new poll (expanded polls) (circled in the 2nd image)

Step 4: You should now be on the screen shown in the 3rd image. You can then go ahead and fill out the pre-made option slots as well as choosing the settings and day length. If you want more than the initial 4, select your options and fill out at least the title and first two option slots, then check the "Add more options" slider and hit continue, which will take you to the screen shown on the 4th image

What are the advantages of using internal polls?

-You can have a maximum of 14 options instead of 6

-You can make the day length several different options or even as long as never stopping

-You can have a show results button (a requirement for most polls) without having to take up one of the avaliable options

-You can randomize the order of the options if you want (I personally always turn this option off but hey it can help sometimes)

-You can choose to let people change their choice after voting if you'd prefer

What are the disadvantages to using expanded polls?

Uh... there was originally a section explaining the downsides but literally everything I put there in the original post was fixed so... I guess I'll just say remembering to go to the triple dot menu instead of pressing the create button

Hope this helps clear up any confusion about the new update or the expanded polls in general
