Message Drafts

Better Messages automatically saves unsent messages as drafts.

How it works​

When a user types a message but navigates away from the conversation before sending, the text is automatically saved as a draft. When the user returns to the same conversation, the draft is restored in the message input field, allowing them to continue composing from where they left off. This prevents accidental loss of typed messages and works across page reloads and browser sessions.

Key capabilities​

  • Automatic saving of unsent message text
  • Drafts restored when returning to the same conversation
  • Works across page reloads and browser sessions
  • No manual save action required
  • Per-conversation drafts (each conversation has its own draft)

How to enable​

Navigate to WP Admin → Better Messages → Settings → Messaging.

  • Enable Drafts — Turn on automatic draft saving for unsent messages
