You've probably seen the word "Draft" appear on your text message app, but what does it mean?
A Draft in a text message is a saved message that you haven't sent yet. It's like a rough version of a text that you can edit or delete before sending.
Why Use Drafts?
There are a few reasons why you might want to use the draft feature:
- You need time to think: Maybe you're writing a long message or want to make sure it's worded just right. You can save it as a draft and come back to it later.
- You're interrupted: You might be writing a message and get interrupted by something else. You can save it as a draft and finish it later.
- You change your mind: You might start writing a message, but then decide you don't want to send it after all. You can delete the draft to avoid accidentally sending it.
How to Use Drafts
The process for using drafts varies depending on the messaging app you use, but generally:
- Start typing your message.
- Don't send the message. Instead, you'll see an option to save it as a draft.
- Find your drafts folder: Most apps have a "Drafts" folder where you can find all your saved messages.
- Edit, delete, or send: You can then edit, delete, or send your drafts.
Example:
Let's say you're texting a friend about plans for the weekend. You start writing:
"Hey! Wanna meet up this weekend? I was thinking we could..."
But then your phone rings, and you have to take the call. You can save this message as a draft and finish it later.
So, next time you see the word "Draft" in your text message app, you'll know it's just a saved message that you haven't sent yet. It's a useful feature for keeping track of your thoughts and making sure your messages are perfect before sending them.
