WhatsApp, the most popular messaging platform on the planet, finally has a drafts feature. Why did it take until the tail-end of 2024 to institute a seemingly simple tool that has been available for rival platforms for years?

To let you know about a draft, messages you’ve started writing will show a green and bold “Draft” word followed by what you’ve typed up. That way, you can ponder about finishing it when you open the app and not accidentally ignore your friends (though you still purposefully could, I guess.)

NEW YORK, Nov 17: WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature called "Message Drafts," designed to help users save unsent messages and prevent the loss of incomplete text. This update automatically saves unfinished messages as drafts, ensuring that no content is lost when users leave a chat before sending it.
