I am being challenged by a company who sent me a text message TODAY but they say they didnt and since my screenshot only says today, they say it could be ANY DAY. I need the actual date, not merely the time.

If the message was sent today, you’ll only see today. Same with today, yesterday, and the name of the day of week for the past week. After that, the actual date displays. So whilst today could be any day, it is only the day you took the screenshot. And tomorrow, it will list yesterday.
This is incorrect. There are other threads that talk about timestamps, and unfortunately in Messages the only way (that we know of) to see timestamps is to swipe and hold to the left from within a conversation. The timestamps are hidden in the right side margin of the screen for some reason.
Messages needs to make timestamps a toggle-able option to be more useable in day to day life.

You should tell Apple what you'd like to see here:
I would also point out that you are replying to a thread that has been dormant for almost a year. There seems little point in reactivating it.
I have requested it already, but good reminder for the new folks here to use the feedback form.
As far as reviving an old thread, I'm part of the group that thinks if an issue has been reported in 2023, 2022, 2021 and still hasn't been addressed, all the more reason to highlight that fact.
Need the date on my messages/texts, not merely "today"
