WhatsApp has released the long awaited WhatsApp Status Draft Feature, which is presently visible in the new Android beta release. One of the most annoying problems of the user that will be addressed in this update is the loss of status progress each time you leave the editor by mistake or because you are distracted by a call or message.
The new functionality enables users to save their incomplete status updates, and WhatsApp is coming closer to the refined editing experience already known in Instagram and Facebook stories. It is an easy but effective function that enhances the accuracy of the Status posting procedure and it minimizes the risks of missing contents during the editing process.
How WhatsApp Status Draft Feature Works?
When you try to get out of the Status creation screen, an exit warning has been added to WhatsApp with three callings, namely Save as draft, Discard, and Continue editing.
When you click Save as draft, your incomplete status is saved at a safe place. When you reopen the Status composer the next time, your draft is saved just as you have left it and you can make more edits or publish at once. This removes the necessity of having to rebuild your status again.
The latter feature can particularly be helpful to those users who will often be multitasking, who get distracted when editing, or who make rather detailed multi-image or text-based stories. Individuals who utilize WhatsApp status to promote their products and share updates are going to find it easier to create content, particularly those who own small businesses.
Although the feature is presently being restricted to Android beta, WhatsApp is likely to implement it at a slow pace to iOS and desktop users too. There are still questions on whether the app is going to support multi-drafts, cross-platform syncing, or automatic expiration though such features tend to be revealed as they approach the general release.
New creative features, such as layout selections and animated stickers, are also featured in early beta versions indicating that WhatsApp has a more global ambition to improve the Status experience. The speculative news is not released yet, but the gradual progress indicates that the WhatsApp Status Draft Feature will be made available to all users in the nearest future as a safer and more convenient means of updating and sharing.
