Date and time on all text messages

I would like every text to have both a date and time. Is that possible?

All messages have the time. Put your finger on a message and pull to the left. You'll see the times down the right side. However, only the first message of the day in the thread has the date.

You can let Apple know you'd like to see something else here:
