Question question – SMSs, full date, apps

[Christian-Andrd.Cntrl]

Hi

I wonder whether anyone could help

Android 13’s SMS messages don’t display the full date (day, month, year –- any format would be fine)

WhatsApp for Android. Same problem.

All we get, is “Yesterday”, or “Monday”, etc etc.

In Android, is there a free third party app (for SMSs) that performs the miracle of displaying, on each SMS, by default, the full date (day and month and year –- it doesn’t matter which format) ??

PS:: we’re aware that, on Android, you can press+hold a message, click on “View” etc etc. But the mere fact we’ve got to do that, is time-consuming, clunky, and the details, when they appear, cover most of the SMS, so it makes it useless if, for example, you wish to take a screenshot of the relevant SMS.

Thank you for your kind help

Christian

Textra shows date and time of each message. Now if there are several within minutes of each other, it will group them without showing a time. But beyond about 10 minutes, then it'll show the date/time of that message.

Is this true for older messages too? Google Messages shows Monday October 2 but no year until it's the next year.
