Wattpad allows you to create stories on the go! Here are some simple steps to start a story and then save it, regardless if you are online or offline. If you write your stories offline on iOS and Android apps, your drafts will be saved locally to your device. Please be sure to connect to wifi or data to ensure the drafts save to the Wattpad servers once you are done!

Please note: Android users cannot edit pre-existing story parts offline but you can create new story parts and save drafts from there.

In other chapters of this guide, you can find information on how to add multimedia to your chapters, like pictures, gifs, YouTube videos, and even sounds (on the Android app only, right now), so be sure to check them out!
