WhatsApp is slowly getting to the point where all the features requested by users are released. While some of them are still in the development stage, it is good to see the platform focus on features useful to millions. You even have an app for iPad these days. 

One of them is likely to be a dedicated draft list which includes all the chats that you would like to send later or forget to send altogether. The new list will be included in the existing tab where you find unread, groups and favourite chats segregated with a button. 

WhatsApp Draft List: Much Needed Update? 

How many times have you started typing a message and forgot to send or decided to send it later? That’s where most people would have liked a draft folder system on WhatsApp which has not been available, and instead, you have to scroll through the messages to find their content. But having the draft list could make it finding these chats one click or tap away. 

As highlighted by WaBetaInfo in a post, the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.18.17 update has shown traces of this upcoming feature with a preset draft list added to the chat feed for users. 

As you can see below, WhatsApp will have a new Draft tab at the top of the feed right next to All and Favourites. When you tap on drafts, you will see all the unsend chats in the screen below. You can even edit the tab from the list and switch between different options as per your choice. 

The tipster also points out that the draft filter will be a preset option and you don’t need to manually configure or set it up for your WhatsApp account. It will automatically appear once the relevant update is released by the platform. The feature is still in the development stage but we can expect the beta users to get it in the next few weeks, after which, WhatsApp will take a call on whether to take it public or junk it for now. 

WhatsApp is also trying out new ways to get people to use Meta AI chatbot. Like Gemini and Grok, you will be able to share images or files with Meta AI and get relevant answers.
