# What are Whatfix Pop-ups?

Whatfix Pop-ups are information widgets used to inform your users about things requiring their immediate attention. Whatfix enables you to choose from six Pop-up templates. These templates cover all types of information and announcements you want to convey to your users. For more information, see [Choose the Pop-up template](/hub/docs/choose-a-pop-up-template).

Use Pop-ups to:

- Introduce new features to users
- Notify users about product and software updates
- Drive users to complete a survey
- Inform users about a celebratory event
- Inform users about an upcoming downtime

Customize the Pop-up to appear only to a specific group of people who have a shared characteristic, such as a specific user role, users who are new, or are from the same department. For more information, see [Visibility Rule Conditions for Pop-up](/hub/docs/visibility-rules-for-popups).
