How do I know if my outgoing SMS message has been read?

Community Answer

Go onto your 1 to 1 chats with someone and then it will tell you if that person has read it.

Question

If I send a message and it says delivered, and then, moments later it says read, does that mean it was actually read or is it just a confirmation that it was delivered?

Community Answer

It means it was actually read. It will only ever say "read" when it has actually been just so.

Question

How do I change a text message that I've read to unread on my Samsung Galaxy?

Community Answer

There isn't an option to unread a read message, but to disable the function in general, go to the Messaging App. Press the three dots in the top right corner. Click Settings > Advanced Messaging > Toggle the "Share read status" setting from right to left, which turns it off. This should disable the "read" status. If there is a need to turn it back on, simply toggle the same setting to the right.

Question

How do I tell if someone read my text messages on my Samsung Galaxy?

Community Answer

If both of you are using Android Messages and have Chat Features turned on, you should be able to see if it's marked as read, and when they're replying. If both of you use the default Samsung Messaging App, and you're on the same carrier, and have your carriers "Chat Feautures" or "Advanced Messages" turned on, you will be able to see if read, and when replying. If not on the same carrier (until intra-carrier RCS is rolled out) it won't work through the Samsung app.

Question

How do I know if someone got my voicemail?

Community Answer

They call you back when they receive it or they can text you. There is not a feature for this, but if you both have your ringtone on, then you'll know.
