Where to Find Drafts on LinkedIn Mobile: Quick Access in 3 Steps

I lost three drafts last month before figuring this out. The LinkedIn mobile app hides your saved posts in a spot that’s not obvious at first glance.

Tap your profile picture, then select “View profile.” From there, scroll to the “Featured” section and look for the “My posts” tab—your drafts live here, ready to edit or publish.

Works the same on iOS and Android, though the app occasionally moves things around. If you don’t see it, try logging out and back in—clears the cache and restores visibility.

This trick has saved me from recreating posts more times than I care to admit. No more lost content.

What Youll Need

Instructions

Here’s my go-to method for locating saved drafts quickly on the LinkedIn mobile app.

Launch the LinkedIn app on your mobile device and ensure you’re logged in. Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner of the screen to access your profile page. This is the same place where you’d go to view your own posts or edit your profile details.

Wait for the profile page to load completely—you’ll see your banner image, profile picture, and the Add to story button at the top. This confirms you’re in the right place to proceed to the next step.

Scroll down slightly on your profile page until you see the Activity section. It appears just below your “About” section and above any recent posts you’ve shared. Tap the Activity button to open a new screen.

In this section, you’ll see tabs for Posts, Articles, Comments, and Drafts. The Drafts tab is what we’re targeting, and it’s usually the last option on the right.

Tap the Drafts tab to view all your saved posts. Here, you’ll see a list of any drafts you’ve started but haven’t published yet. Each draft will display the text you’ve written, along with the date it was last saved.

Tap any draft to open it in the editor. From here, you can continue editing, discard it, or publish it directly to your feed. LinkedIn automatically saves drafts, so even if you close the app, your work remains intact.

If you don’t see any drafts, it means you haven’t started one yet. To create a new draft, tap the Post button at the bottom of the screen and start typing. LinkedIn will save your progress as a draft if you navigate away before posting.

To delete a draft, open it and tap the three dots in the top-right corner, then select Delete draft. Always double-check before deleting—there’s no undo option once it’s gone.

Tips and Common Mistakes

Here are a few things I wish I’d known before struggling to find my drafts.

Profile Loading Confirmation: In Step 1, don’t rush past the profile page. I learned the hard way that you need to wait until you see the Add to story button appear at the top – this confirms everything has loaded properly. Otherwise, you might miss the Activity section entirely.

Activity Section Location: For Step 2, the Activity section can be easy to overlook. It’s always positioned just below your About section, so scroll slowly. I’ve accidentally scrolled too far past it more times than I’d like to admit.

Draft Tab Position: In Step 3, remember that the Drafts tab is typically the last option on the right in the Activity section. LinkedIn occasionally rearranges these tabs, but Drafts is almost always the final one. If you don’t see it immediately, check the far right.

Auto-Save Assurance: LinkedIn’s auto-save feature mentioned in Step 3 works reliably, but I always double-check by opening a draft and verifying my latest changes are there. It’s saved me from losing work when I’ve accidentally closed the app mid-editing.
