WhatsApp to add new preset chat list for draft messages

WhatsApp is working on a feature for its users to search for draft messages through a preset chat list and it will be available in a future update.

The new chat list for draft messages, which is available in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.18.17 update, allow users to locate all chats with draft messages, WABetaInfo reported.

A draft message refers to any text that has been typed in a conversation but has not yet been sent. It is marked with a green colour within the chats list to make it noticeable for users. For example, it can occur when users start composing a message but decide to send it later.

Currently, users must scroll through their entire chat list to find conversations that contain draft messages, which can be time-consuming, especially for those who engage with a large number of chats. 

The popular Meta-owned instant-messaging app aims to streamline the process with its upcoming feature by introducing a specific filter that will automatically show all chats with unsent drafts in the future. 

This will be particularly convenient for users who often compose messages across multiple conversations and leave them unfinished.

By simply selecting the new "Drafts" filter, users will be able to instantly bring up a dedicated list of all conversations that contain unsent messages. 

This convenient tool will help ensure that no important message is accidentally forgotten or overlooked due to distractions or busy schedules. 

It's important to note that this new filter will be a preset option. 

This means that users won't need to manually set it up or configure anything once the feature becomes available, as it will appear automatically when draft messages exist. 

In addition, users can remove the draft filter at any time if they do not find this list useful. In case their needs or habits change later, they will still have the option to re-enable the filter and make use of it as needed.

The preset chat list for draft messages is under development and it will be available in a future update.
