So, for future readers, this is what I learned.
The short answer is that:
sent time
andreceive time
SMS data are available, within both the default GOS/AOSP14 app and QKSMS (but not Fossify-Messages, as far as I could determine).- Open a message thread > long press the message > choose the (i) icon > sent & receive date/time data is shown.
The long answer:
- The GOS/AOSP14
default Messaging App
does do this, I was just too dim to find it. My problem was that I had tried long pressing on the message to see if that did anything, but I was doing this at the top level and not within the message's own thread, where a long press does offer an (i) option. QKSMS
has a nice interface and the same message>long-press>(i) shows the message data.- If you choose not to make QKSMS the default SMS, then it still opens showing the messages it had access to when it was last the default app.
- This is nice because you can use QKSMS to backup/restore your SMS: I always prefer to just use the default apps, but QKSMS is still useful because it has backup & restore SMS options in the menu.
Fossify Messages
(= SimpleSMS, I believe) does not seem to show thesent time
of an SMS, it shows only the time the phonereceived
the message.- Fossify Messages will not open/work unless it is set as the default SMS app.
Thanks to @bookreader for pointing me in the right direction.
