We are living in the world of social media, where millions are posts are being made this very second. Countless users share their experiences, photos, messages, etc on their Facebook app. However, in many cases, you might want to upload a photo, status, or post but must stop midway. This can be due to an interrupted internet connection or the bus you’re waiting for has arrived. In such cases, Facebook saves the post, which you can find later in the draft section of the app.
The Facebook app comes with an additional advantage as it saves all the drafts that you were not able to post. Since users want to keep their wall active, it is important that you also know where you access your drafts so you don’t have to write the post again. It is time-saving, plus very efficient in case you make multiple posts per day.
