iMessage and SMS text Drafts Feature

Hi all! I’ve submitted this feature request on the Suggestions page link below. If anyone thinks this is a good idea, please feel free to use my idea and send it to Apple as well. The more of us that suggest this, the higher likelihood of Apple implementing this.

Feature idea: Hi team! It would be super useful to be able to save a message as a draft and send it later. The feature could work by long pressing the “send button” and having an option to “Save as draft”. This would then place the message in the chat thread in grey, and have the text above it “Draft” which a user could then click to edit the draft and then send it, or again, save as a draft if they desired.
