WhatsApp now saves unfinished chat messages as drafts

WhatsApp has introduced drafts – a new functionality where unfinished messages in a chat are automatically saved and labelled so it is easier to find m later. Drafts in WhatsApp are similar to its counterparts in most email services, where users can save messages in a dedicated folder to attend to later. new functionality is now rolling out to WhatsApp's Android and iOS apps, while its Web and macOS versions will receive it in coming days.

“WhatsApp now has drafts, making it easy to find and send unfinished messages,” said Meta's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Zuckerberg in a post on his channel. “We all need this,” he ded.

How to use WhatsApp drafts

It is a simple feature where users are not required to do anything. WhatsApp will automatically show “Draft” in green colour, followed by text inputted, under a chat's name if a user left a message, intended to be sent to recipient, unfinished. green-coloured label will make it easy for users to find a message from list and continue from where y left off – or, y could delete draft by erasing text saved to chat. recipient cannot see drafts unless y are sent as chat messages.

In or news, WhatsApp is reportedly working to streamline chat groups, especially ones with a higher number of participants. According to a report by WhatsApp watchdog, WABetaInfo, Meta-owned chat app is testing a “Highlights” filter that users can opt for when muting a group. This could help users attend to messages that have m mentioned using “@” or just ir name through bypass notifications. For unimportant messages, group chat will remain muted, however. Since new functionality is currently being tested, it is available to a handful of users with access to beta programme. WhatsApp has not said when it will roll out new group chat mute filter to public.
