CHAT MESSAGE DRAFT
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.18.10.72 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a message draft feature. This feature was designed to help users keep track of partially composed messages, making it easier to revisit and complete them later. By flagging these incomplete messages directly in the chat list, users could finally reduce the time spent searching through conversations for unsent messages. With the WhatsApp for iOS 24.22.83 update now available on the App Store, WhatsApp offers new features to enhance user communication and organization, including improved draft labeling. Thanks to the official changelog, we discovered that WhatsApp is widely rolling out a chat message draft feature to everyone!
The official changelog still highlights that new Home Screen widgets for Chats are now available, allowing users to select from options such as Recents, Favorites, Pinned, or Frequently Contacted. These widgets were first introduced with the WhatsApp for iOS 24.21.82 update, which improved Home Screen accessibility for chats. Leveraging the latest iOS widget API, these new interactive widgets offer real-time data updates and deeper integration with system features.
The official changelog also notes that message drafts are now indicated with a new "Draft" label directly with the chat list. This feature displays the text of any incomplete message right in the chat list, marked with the "Draft" label, so users can see what they were writing without opening the conversation. For users who often get interrupted or distracted while typing, this feature serves as a reminder, reducing the chance of leaving messages unsent. Unlike before, where users had to remember or check each chat manually, the new "Draft" label now makes it clearer which conversations have unfinished messages at a glance. This subtle addition helps users stay organized and ensures that important, unsent messages are less likely to be forgotten.
If you don't have these features, note that some accounts may receive them over the coming weeks, as indicated in the official changelog. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get these features in the near future in case you don't have them after installing this update. By staying proactive in updating your app, you can ensure that you're always equipped with the latest and most advanced features WhatsApp has to offer.
A chat message draft feature is available for iOS users who install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
