WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging apps in the world with over 2 billion users, frequently introduces new features and updates. Given that WhatsApp's main purpose is to let you send messages, it's nice to see that not all of the new features are focused on artificial intelligence like this upcoming addition to finding unfinished messages.

Thanks to a recent WhatsApp beta update for Android, now available on the Google Play Store, it has been discovered that WhatsApp is experimenting with a draft message feature for the chat list. Earlier this month, the same feature also appeared on iOS, indicating that both operating systems are set to get this handy addition.
Some beta testers have already gotten a taste of the new feature that allows them to manage their draft messages directly from the chat list. This WhatsApp update eliminates the hassle of opening each chat to see if there are unfinished messages. If it is available to you, you will see a draft label next to the chat message indicating that something is left unfinished.

Basically, with WhatsApp's new draft label, any conversation that has an unfinished message will be clearly marked in the conversation list, making it super easy for users to spot them. While this feature is currently available to a select group of beta testers, it is expected to roll out to the wider public soon.

While this may seem like a small update, it will make life a lot easier for users, especially those who are a little forgetful. For example, I can’t count the number of times I’ve started writing a birthday message, gotten sidetracked, and then discovered days or even weeks later that I never hit send and it’s still just a draft. So if you’re anything like me, you’ll definitely appreciate this handy new feature.
