After update, why do text messages no longer save drafts with back button?

My phone updated about a week ago. As long as I've been using Androids, the back button in an unsent text message has always served to save it as a draft. Now with the update, it just deletes the entire thing. I don't like that at ALL. Is this just how it works now, or is there something I'm missing?

Thank you
