Message Drafts
If you navigate to a different tab or somewhere else in the Text Request application while in the middle of composing a message, that message is saved as a draft. Whether you're in the middle of responding to an ongoing conversation or composing an entirely new message, any work you had before navigating away will still be there when you return.
