How to Sync X (Twitter) Drafts Between Web and Mobile

After many years of requests, X (Twitter) has finally rolled out synced drafts between mobile and web. This means drafts you start on the X mobile app will now be there when you log in on the web version—and vice versa.

If you've been frustrated by losing half-written posts when switching devices, this update is a game-changer.

But here's the thing: while X's draft sync is a welcome improvement, it still has limitations—especially if you create threads with media. That's where a dedicated tool like Typefully comes in.

How X's new draft sync works

The update is simple and automatic.

When you start writing a post in the X mobile app and save it as a draft, it will now appear in your drafts folder on the web version.

However, X's sync doesn't work perfectly for longer threads with multiple media attachments. And there's no guarantee your draft won't disappear if the app crashes or if you have connection issues.

For creators and businesses who depend on consistent posting, that's a risk.

Why you need a more reliable draft sync solution

If you're serious about growing on X or managing multiple business accounts, using X's native draft sync has a few drawbacks:

1. You can lose drafts with media

Threads with multiple images, videos, or GIFs don't always sync reliably. One connection hiccup and your carefully crafted post could vanish.

2. No collaborative features

X's drafts are personal. You can't share them with team members for feedback, comments, or approval. If you work with others, coordinating content becomes messy.

3. Limited scheduling options

X's native scheduler is basic. There's no way to see which times get the most engagement or to queue posts across multiple accounts easily.

4. No cross-platform posting

If you want to post the same content on LinkedIn, Threads, or Bluesky, you'll have to rewrite and reschedule it manually on each platform.
