How to keep the exact time in SMS messages also after weeks in Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (lollipop)?

[android_user123]

My Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (lollipop) shows me the exact time of the message when I send or receive an SMS message. However, when I read the older messages, I noticed that if the message is older than a week, the phone shows me only the date, not the time anymore. Is there a way to keep the information of the exact time of sending or receiving also in the older SMS messages, or is the removing of the time a feature of the phone I have to live with?

If you do a "long press" on a SMS message, one of the options displayed is "view message details". That will show you the time the message was received.
