WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will let users locate chats with incomplete drafts immediately.
Meta-owned instant messaging platform had already added a green label to show messages that were typed but not sent.
However, it was hard for users to find these unsent messages, especially if there were many chats or the draft was old, as per WABetaInfo.
Notably, the new feature will create a separate "draft list" inside the chats tab which will help users easily find and view all unsent chats without wasting time searching.
The “Drafts” filter will be a preset option, meaning users won’t need to activate or configure it. If there’s a draft message in any chat, the filter will appear automatically, ensuring easy access without additional steps.
On top of that, WhatsApp will allow users to decide if they want to use the new "Draft" filter or not. They can add it to their chats tab or remove it anytime from the chat list settings and can bring it back later.
However, this feature is under development and it will be available to all iOS users in future updates.
With the upcoming “Drafts” filter, WhatsApp is fine-tuning the way users stay organised, helping ensure that no important message goes unsent.
