How to view the time and date a text was sent? I see another question about this was answered by pointing to the header which, on my phone, only displays the time a text sent to me, was opened by me - no clue where the date or time the message was SENT is found. This has been driving me nuts as I need to know the date and time the op sent the message. How do I find this? Thank you!

Time stamp sometimes when I switch my phone on I may get text messages. However, the time stamp is simply the same as the time that my phone received it. If I swipe left the time revealed is the same as the delivery time. Unless the sender includes the date & time, of writing, how can I determine when it was sent?

In the message list there is a header when a conversation started, and hovering over a particular message with show its date/time info.
