- 2Tap Next when you're finished. It'll be at the bottom-right corner of the preview.Advertisement
- 3Tap Drafts. It's at the bottom-left corner. This saves your video as a draft that you can edit and post whenever you'd like.
- Your drafts are only available on the phone or tablet on which you create them. If you switch to another phone, you won't be able to access your drafts on that device.
