Does anyone know why there is a little 1 next to all my text messages? I have a Samsung S7 Edge

[AC Question]

This little blue 1 appears next to most of my messages. It looks like a sim card. I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of it. Or why it is there. Does anyone know?

Welcome to Android Central! Is it a dual SIM phone?

If you are using the dual SIM model, it means that specific message has been sent/received from the first SIM card.

you are in "enhanced messaging mode"

Yes it is a dual SIM phone

Ah I see. Is there a way I can switch this off that you know of?

Do you have two SIMs inserted, or only one? The number might only come up if you have two SIMs inserted.

To tell you that you have 1 new message?

I have a single-SIM model. I think the "1" indicates that there is 1 new message in that message thread. I'll pay attention to a thread where I get more than 1 new message in a row and better understand if that's true.

I don't believe the 1 that the OP is seeing is an unread count badge, because he or she specifically stated that it appears "next to most of my messages" (not on the app shortcut icon), and that it looks like a SIM card. It is more likely that it shows that the message is coming through on the line associated with SIM #1.

I see it on my messages too sometimes. Can you confirm my theory that it happens when you're messaging someone that is also on the Sprint network? Is Sprint your provider? I notice when I call someone who is on the sprint network like me, the phone calls are in HD and I'm wondering if the messaging appears with that "1" next to it.

I only have 1 sim card inserted and a memory card.

I'm sorry. I'm not on Sprint. I live in Australia

Well I've noticed that my text message turn to enhanced messaging" when I text someone on the same carrier as me which is Sprint. It's possible that it's the same occurrence for you where the person you're messaging is on the same network.

What happens if you switch the SIM card to slot #2? Does a "2" appear on the messages?

 

[makaroni]

Am I missing something here? I was unaware that there are 2 SIM card slots in the S7E

The OP stated in post #8 that it is a dual SIM phone, so presumably it's this one: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos SM-G935FD Specs and features - Phone More
