Photos and polls
Share photos from your library, view them full screen, and run quick polls — including date polls — then vote, allow multiple answers, and close for final results.
Two of the chat's best tools live behind the + button next to the composer: photos for showing the crew what you found, and polls for settling the small stuff that doesn't need a formal ballot.
Who can do what: everyone on the trip can send photos, create polls, and vote in them. Only a poll's creator can close it, and you can only delete messages you sent.
Send a photo
- 1Tap + next to the composer and choose Photo.
- 2The first time, your device asks for photo access — allow it.
- 3Pick an image from your library. A "Sending photo…" chip shows in the composer while it uploads.
- 4The photo lands in the chat as a rounded image in your bubble.
If you previously denied photo access, Limbo shows an alert with a Settings shortcut — tap it to grant access, then try again.
If the upload fails — patchy hotel wifi, usually — you'll see a "Couldn't send photo" alert. Nothing is posted; just try again.
Tip
Photos work with replies: long-press a message, choose Reply, then send a photo — it posts quoting that message.
View and react to photos
- Tap a photo to open it full screen on a black background. Tap the X in the top corner to close.
- Long-press a photo to react with an emoji or reply — and to delete it, if it's yours. Deleting removes it for the whole crew.

Create a poll
- 1Tap + and choose Poll.
- 2Type your question (up to 300 characters).
- 3Fill in at least two options (up to 100 characters each). Tap Add option for more — six is the max — or the X beside an option to remove it.
- 4Turn on Allow multiple answers if people can pick more than one.
- 5Tap Create poll. It posts straight into the chat.
The button stays disabled until you have a question and at least two filled options.
Create a date poll
For "which weekend works?" decisions, use the date-poll preset instead of typing every option from scratch.
- 1Tap + and choose Poll.
- 2Tap Availability poll in the poll sheet.
- 3Limbo fills in a "Which dates work best?" question and suggested date options from the trip dates or upcoming weekends.
- 4Leave Allow multiple answers on so people can pick every date they can make, then tap Create poll.
Heads up
A poll's question and options can't be edited after it's posted. If you made a typo, delete the poll (long-press → Delete) and post a fresh one.
Vote in a poll
- Tap an option to vote. Your pick gets a check mark and a highlighted border.
- Tap your pick again to take the vote back.
- If the poll allows multiple answers (you'll see a "Select one or more" hint), tap as many options as apply.
Results update live for everyone: each option shows a fill bar and its vote count, with the total number of voters at the bottom right.
Close a poll
When you've heard enough, freeze the results — only the person who created the poll can do this.
- 1Long-press your poll.
- 2Choose Close poll from the menu.
- 3Confirm — voting ends and the final results are shown to everyone.
The option bars lock in place and the poll gets a Final results badge. Nobody can vote after that.

Note
Polls are for quick, informal calls — where to grab breakfast, aisle or window. For decisions that should follow the trip's voting rules, deadlines, and reveal, link a plan and put it on a real ballot instead — see Link plans and vote in chat.
