Other person typing

[Android Central Question]

When the other person is texting me I can see when they are typing. How do I turn this on my phone?

The SMS protocol does not support that feature, this is more of a chat app feature.

Open your message app, go to settings, select chat settings, select Share Typing Info.
That may be what you want.

I believe it is included in the newer RCS protocol.

RCS is not SMS and is not supported by most carriers yet.
