Android and iOS users can now save their posts (picture or video) in the form of drafts on Facebook. Facebook provides the feature of creating personal profiles along with drafts on the Facebook page. Drafts help you to make a sketch of your post by editing and then you can share it on your Facebook account later. Users are facing problems looking out for the Facebook drafts that they have created on iOS or Android platforms.
You might have found it a bit peculiar. Facebook lets you create a draft but does not include the option to see your drafts. You will get a notification from Facebook that says ‘Your draft was saved’. Just click on the notification to open the draft and if you want to make some more changes, you can.
If you mistakenly remove the notification then there is no other access left for you to check the saved draft. You can see the notification again but this time you’ll be able to see a specific draft instead of all of the saved drafts.
We will now share about the different methods to find drafts on Facebook app on varied platforms in just few simple steps.
