Drafting emails and sending mail later is a feature that many users are familiar with on the computer, but not many people know it exists in iOS Mail. Below, I will show you how to use this feature.

Drafts already exist in the Mail application on iOS for a while and allow users to create draft, save and post later, but what to do to use this hidden feature?

To create a draft, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Mail application on iOS.
  2. Select Compose button (edit).
  3. Start filling in the subject and the message.
  4. To save the mail as a draft, click the Cancel button, then click Save Draft in the pop-up window. The message will disappear, but it is actually saved in the Drafts folder.

To open a saved draft, hold down the Compose button (compose a new message) on the toolbar. After a while, the Drafts folder will appear.
