It happens to me pretty often when I touch a key incidentally or when I
have to do something else before Send or Save. Then the text I spent long
time to type in just disappears irretrievably. In Android there was a
confirmation question before such a critical action. If such feature is
also available in iOS via some Setup option, I can not find it. But then I
am fairly new in the Apple environment. So go easy on me if I should know
this.
 

 
In what context?
 
Where and when does this happen?
 

 
Even this message I had to write again after the first one disappeared when
I had to put it into background till I looked up something in a browser
before Send.
It also happened several times when I was writing inside an app to share my
opinion about the app.

What phone do you have?

I've seen this before and I think it's due to the app being removed from
active memory - or whatever it's called - by apps you open with it in the
background. The paused app only saves some aspects which may not include
draft text. This a feature of the app, not the OS.

In the NewsTap newsreader I use, it saves draft messages. Reddit on the
otherhand doesn't so I sometimes lose draft messages

Like YourName says I doubt android has built-in a way to avoid this.
