How do I access a draft post-created on a mobile phone-on my home computer?

    I created a draft post on my mobile phone, but the draft post doesn’t show up on my home computer where I had planned to finish it. How can I access it from my computer without publishing?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    As long as your mobile phone is connected to the Internet, after you are done typing your draft, you can click the Cancel button in the upper left hand corner. It will ask if you want to delete the draft or save it. If you click save, it will upload your draft to our servers at which point it will be available for you to edit it on any computer.

    Again, please note that you do need to be connected to the Internet, otherwise it will save the draft locally.

    Sounds good, except I have an Android and it doesn’t give me those options. If I go to the “W” and press it – it asks if I want to save, delete or cancel. I pressed cancel, but it still saved it as a local draft. I went back and edited it, then tried again, except this time I pressed cancel then the “paper plane” icon on the top right. It says it’s posting it! Yikes!… Any further ideas? Is this just a failure of Android to be kind to WordPress users? Thanks.

    OOoo…I just went back in to my phone and it says “draft” now instead of local draft. We may have been successful.

    Excellent! I’m glad that it’s working for you!

    And I’m sorry for assuming you were on an iPhone. I am able to see that you had submitted your inquiry via Safari so I had assumed you were an apple user. My bad for making that leap! :(

    Let me know if you have any other issues!
