WhatsApp’s new message draft feature aims to help users keep track of unfinished messages by highlighting them in green and moving the conversation to the top of the chat list. However, unlike Telegram, WhatsApp drafts don’t sync across devices, limiting functionality for multi-device users.
When does the feature work in WhatsApp?
In its latest update, WhatsApp has introduced a feature that could save users from the embarrassment of forgotten messages—message drafts. If you start typing a message and don’t send it, the app will mark it as a draft with a green indicator and automatically place the chat at the top of the chat list. This small but thoughtful improvement ensures you won’t lose track of what you meant to say, especially during busy days.
While this feature simplifies chat management on a single device, it comes with a significant limitation. WhatsApp does not sync drafts across multiple devices or the web version. For example, if you start drafting a message on your phone, you won’t see the same draft on your tablet or desktop. This makes it less seamless for users who rely on WhatsApp across various devices.
By comparison, Telegram—a major competitor—already allows users to draft messages on one device and send them from another. This capability enhances the user experience by enabling uninterrupted communication, regardless of the device in use.
Tips and Recommendations
- To make the most of this feature, ensure you complete your drafts on the same device where you started.
- If multi-device syncing is crucial for your communication, consider using Telegram as an alternative.
- Keep your WhatsApp app updated to enjoy the latest features and security improvements.
