Meta-owned platform WhatsApp announced that it was rolling out a message draft feature for iOS which will now be available for use over the coming weeks.
The new feature has been designed to assist user keep track of partially composed messages which makes it easier to revisit and complete them later, reported WABetaInfo.
Users can finally reduce the time spent searching through conversations for unsent messages by flagging these incomplete messages directly in the chat list.
According to the official change log on the App Store, the message drafts are now indicated with a new "Draft" label directly with the chat list.
Marked with the "Draft" label, this feature displays the text of any incomplete message right in the chat list. This will help users see what they were writing without opening the conversation.
Moreover, this feature serves as a reminder for users, who often get interrupted or distracted while typing, by reducing the chance of leaving messages unsent.
This is in contrast to earlier where users had to remember or check each chat manually.
The new label of "Draft" now makes it clearer which conversations have unfinished messages at a glance.
It is worth noting that this subtle addition helps users to stay organised as well as ensures that important, unsent messages are less likely to be forgotten.
