Sarah (unable to comment but just know your review is amazing!!) I wish I knew, babe! I’ve been searching my account settings and I don’t really see anything to opt out 😭😭 Maybe there’s a solution in the Feeds tab in the account settings? 🤔 I need to see 😅👍🏼


Alylally⛰️⛺️⛈️ I love the choose your next book polls, hate all the other ones. "follow me on insta!" no. 😂😂 I don't think you can opt out of certain ones :/ goodreads is far too dumb to be able to differentiate between the types of polls. You may be able to opt out of ALL polls but I have no idea

Arely So, on a desktop you can go to the “account settings”, toggle over to the “feeds” button, you’ll see on the bottom under “only on Goodreads.com” and uncheck the “answer a poll” button.. unfortunately, if the polls come from a group the only way to stop it is by removing yourself from the group which can be done on a desktop as well.

angelpompom I started unfriending the people inviting me because it always seemed to be the same handful. They were ones I didn’t interact with anyways. Now I have peace, mostly🤣

Someone mentioned how to do it in the comments, babes💗!!!!!!! So, you can't like actually opt out, but there's a tab that you can uncheck so you don't get any polls😭!!!!!!!

See, I absolutely love helping people choose their next read, but it's the "can you like and comment on my review" "can you send this poll out so I can get more friends" bffr, just interact and make your own friends😂😑.

GIRL, IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT SEND OUT THESE POLLS, like yes, I'll help you pick your next book since this is a book app, but I don't want to pick what you do with your day😑!!!!!!!!

Korynne That comment doesn’t explain how to opt out of polls; what it explains is how to opt out of notifications appearing on your profile and someone else’s feed when you vote in a poll. That has no bearing on whether you will still receive poll invites or not.

That's my fault, Korynne. I thought it would help with not being invited to vote on a poll.
