Description
I suggest adding an auto-save option, to save concepts as drafts in certain situations, or after a 2 minute interval. If the conept is send, delete the auto-save draft after sending. If the concept is discarded, delete the auto-save draft at the moment of discarding.
If the app crashes, or Andorid closes unexpectedly, the concept can be recovered by going into drafts and opening the last auto-save.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the Android app creates, saves, sends, discards, and displays drafts, then determine how recovery after an unexpected close would fit that flow. Done means periodic or situation-based draft recovery works, and saved drafts are removed after sending or discarding.
