WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, has finally introduced a drafts feature. While it may seem surprising that it took until the end of 2024 to implement a tool that has been available on rival platforms for years, the important thing is that it is now available.
The new feature, aptly named Message Drafts, provides “a new and easy way to find your unfinished messages on WhatsApp.” Users can identify these unfinished messages by looking for the “Draft” indicator at the beginning of a message. WhatsApp has designed the feature so that these drafts will move to the top of the chats list, allowing users to quickly locate them.
As a drafts feature, its functionality is straightforward. The tool is now available globally via the app, giving users the freedom to start messages and finish them at their convenience. This means no more pressure to complete messages immediately; users can refine their thoughts over time. This addition is part of a series of recent updates to WhatsApp.
The platform has been actively enhancing its features, including the introduction of custom lists to help users keep track of conversations and a program that allows users to add contacts from any device. With the new Message Drafts feature, WhatsApp continues to improve its user experience, making it easier for people to manage their communications efficiently.
