WhatsApp developing ‘Search for Draft Messages’ feature

WhatsApp is working on a brand-new feature for iPhone users that will make it easier to find and manage unsent messages, according to a report by WhatsApp Beta Info.

The upcoming feature, titled ‘Search for Draft Messages’, will allow users to quickly locate messages they started typing but never sent, eliminating the need to scroll through long chat lists.

Once rolled out, the feature will introduce a dedicated draft message filter within the Chats tab, giving users a clear view of all their incomplete conversations in one place. The move is aimed at improving usability and ensuring users can easily resume half-written thoughts or unsent replies without digging through old threads.

While there’s no official release date yet, sources suggest the feature is already under active development and will be part of a future iOS update.

Earlier on June 10, 2025, reports indicated that a similar feature was in the works for Android users, and iPhone users will soon enjoy the same convenience once the feature is finalised.

With this update, WhatsApp continues its push to enhance the user experience by making communication more seamless and accessible, especially for those who live in the land of half-typed, never-sent messages.
