How to View Drafts on Facebook Mobile
This part tells you how to create and find Facebook drafts from your personal profile on Android and iOS. It’s similar to the ways of finding TikTok drafts and Instagram drafts.
On the Facebook app for Android, you can tap What’s on your mind? to create a new post. If you click the back button after you type something, a pop-up window appears.
You can click Save as draft and you’ll receive a notification with your draft. You can click the notifications icon (a bell) to access your draft.
Also, you’ll receive a notification from your phone that says Your draft was saved. Tap this notification to open the drafts you saved. Click the back button to see all your Facebook drafts. Your drafts will be deleted after 3 days.
On your iPhone, you can click the X after typing and select Save Draft to create a post draft. When you open the Facebook app again, tap on What’s on your mind? to see your recent draft.
The Facebook app for iPhone only saves one draft. When you create a new one, the older post draft will be removed.
