Unsent text messages

Where do unsent or unaddressed text message go? They disappear when a new text comes in - or they disappear if you go to another screen or take a call

and sometimes they reappear if you are forming a text to the same people - but creating a new text to the same people doesn’t always work and neither does it work when you have yet to fill in an address recipient

They get deleted as you have found out. There is no draft folder for text message.
