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.
This doesn't work for me. I've tried clearing the local cache. I have to latest version of the app installed. I even tried clearing the whole local database but now i can't log back it so cannot confirm.

I think I've figured out why this didn't work the first time. I had several instances logged in - the android phone, tablet, web apps. i needed to log out of all instances except for one, then perform the cloud draft delete.
I also figured out why this issue occurred. I'm the admin of the group but my android phone app crashed while i was composing the message. i think the cloud draft message was then pushed to all other devices.

I tried this many times. It does not solved the problem. Why one can not turn off Cloud Draft feature?? It is terrible

try to log out of all devices but one, delete the draft, log in again.

This is now happening to me several times a week. Possibly because I switch between mac/pc/android. The only thing that works is to Terminate All Other Sessions ( settings > devices) from my android, then delete all cloud drafts (settings > data & storage > scroll to bottom).

But to clarify - I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with admin restrictions for me.
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.
