Unable to find the text I was working on after I accepted a call

I’m trying to send a photo from my phone via text. Before I could send it, I answered a call and when I went back to send my text, I couldn’t find it. What happened to it and where do I find it? Thanks!

It's gone. Messages doesn't have a draft function. If you leave the app and they system needs to reclaim memory for some reason, you will lose an unsent message.


If you're given to writing long messages to send as texts, I recommend drafting them in Notes. It's very easy to share them over to Messages when you're ready.
