It happens to me pretty often when I touch a key incidentally or when I
have to do something else before Send or Save. Then the text I spent long time to type in just disappears irretrievably. In Android there was a confirmation question before such a critical action. If such feature is
also available in iOS via some Setup option, I can not find it. But then I
am fairly new in the Apple environment. So go easy on me if I should know this.

In what context?
Where and when does this happen?

It would depend on what you're doing to cause that to happen, but it's unlikely Android has some magic authentication message for whatever
you're doing either. For example, accidentally selecting all the test
and replacing it with a space will not give you a warning message on
any computer system.
You could possibly try the Undo feature to undo whatever you've just
done, but again it depends on wht you did.

Even this message I had to write again after the first one disappeared when >> I had to put it into background till I looked up something in a browser
before Send.
It also happened several times when I was writing inside an app to share my >> opinion about the app.
What phone do you have?
I've seen this before and I think it's due to the app being removed from active memory - or whatever it's called - by apps you open with it in the background. The paused app only saves some aspects which may not include draft text. This a feature of the app, not the OS.
In the NewsTap newsreader I use, it saves draft messages. Reddit on the otherhand doesn't so I sometimes lose draft messages
Like YourName says I doubt android has built-in a way to avoid this.
