The future has arrived and it's bringing some good news for all the professional procrastinators out there. You know the type - the ones who start typing out a reply in the group chat, only to get sidetracked and completely forget to hit send. But fear not, because WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging platform, has officially launched a new feature called "Message Drafts".
This new function, aptly named "Message Drafts", was included in the latest WhatsApp update over the weekend. Sure, you could technically already save draft messages, but now they will be displayed with a small "Draft" note next to them, making it even more convenient for you to pick up where you left off. So, no more excuses for ignoring people, unfortunately.
But that's not all - drafts will also automatically be pushed to the top of your chats, just below any pinned messages. This means you can no longer use the excuse of accidentally ghosting your date from the other night. WhatsApp understands the struggle of starting a reply and getting sidetracked, which is why they wanted to introduce drafts in the first place.
In case you didn't know, WhatsApp is owned by Meta and they have been quite busy lately. Just recently, the platform introduced a new feature called "lists", which allows users to create customized categories. They have also made it easier to search for images within the app. But that's not all - in a few years, WhatsApp wants to make phone numbers obsolete. Last month, they announced their plans to let users add contacts by exchanging usernames instead of phone numbers. Talk about keeping up with the times!
