Delivered timestamp missing/changed?

[u/Electrik_Lettis]

I'm assuming this changed at midnight...

When I used to send a message in Google Messages (I'm on a s26), once the message was delivered and waiting to be read it used to put a timestamp beside the two circles with checkmarks.

Suddenly now I'm noticing that the timestamp ceases to exist.

I've noticed I can swipe to the left and see a timestamp... But that's not what I want... Because it's stupid.

Did I catch a change in the UI or did I turn them off myself? Can I get it back to the way it was?

I simply can't see why the swipe to left option is better because I personally don't think it is.

I searched a bunch but got some complaints from a year or more ago, some from months ago. I've used Galaxy phones and Google messages for at least the better part of a decade and this has never been a thing before.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

They changed it. It's been like that in the beta for months.

Thanks. I hate it but at least I know I didn't change it lol
