Short Message/Messaging Service, also known as SMS, is a quick and convenient way to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. This feature is especially important when you need to send an urgent message and want to ensure that it has been received. In this post, we will show you how to enable SMS delivery reports on your Samsung Galaxy S24.
How to enable SMS delivery reports on your Samsung Galaxy S24
Enabling the SMS delivery report option on your Samsung Galaxy S24 is simple and only takes a few steps. Here is how to do it:
- Open the Messages app on your phone.
- Tap the More Options icon (three vertical dots) in the top right corner.
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Tap More settings.
- Tap Text messages.
- Toggle the switch for show when delivered to the ON position.
After it’s enabled, every message you send will have delivery status icons next to it, a single check for sent and double check for delivered. Keep in mind that your carrier may charge a small fee per message to enable this feature. You can disable it at any time by toggling the switch off.
Troubleshooting common SMS delivery report issues
Sometimes the delivery report feature doesn’t seem to work as expected. Here are some common issues and fixes:
- No delivery status showing: The recipient may have delivery reports disabled on their device. Both parties need to have it enabled for it to work properly.
- The report says “Not delivered.”: The cell tower may be having connectivity issues routing the SMS. Check for outages in your area.
- Delivery comes late: Telecom networks can experience delays that hold up the report; some late reports are normal. Give it up to a few hours.
- Unusual delivery report behavior: toggle delivery reports off and on again, or reboot your device if issues persist. A factory reset may help as well.
As you can see, most delivery report problems are temporary and have straightforward fixes. Enabling the feature is worth it for the useful information it provides.
