If you have a message in a group, and an admin restricts you from sending messages, the draft gets stuck in your Chat list.
Workaround
Android: Settings > Data and Storage >Delete All Cloud Drafts iOS: Settings > Privacy and Security > Data Settings >Delete All Cloud Drafts macOS: Settings > Privacy and Security >Delete All Cloud Drafts
Steps to reproduce
Type a draft in a group
An admin restricts you from sending messages
Current result
The draft is displayed there. You can't view the latest messages in the group.
Expected result
You see the latest message, not your draft.
Device info
Any device running Telegram since February 2019 can be affected.
Same here. Not relevant to admin restrictions, and the only recourse was to Terminate All Other Sessions before deleting all cloud drafts.

There is no way to clear the draft, deleting drafts seems to work but after i write another message the last message is in the draft. An its always showing in the chat when i enter to it

Same here. Even if you disconnect all devices it comes back after a short while. I would rather have it that Telegram doesn't save drafts at all.

I have the same issue when I write a message in a group chat, then tab out before sending and then come back to the group chat. Killing other sessions on other devices works as a work around for me too.

Whenever i am writing a message, a draft is being automatically created. Even after deleting the draft, it keeps reappearing in the group. When I close the tab and reopen it, the same draft still shows up. Kindly look into this issue, as it seems to be a system bug.
