I am offline sometimes. Would be nice if one could dig up the date and time when a message was sent - in addition to when you received it. People very often use words like “now”, “today”, “soon” etc, and then they reference when message was sent, not when received.
I’ve seen this functionality on other phones, so should be possible…
My network will sometimes deliver messages hours/days late. It is indeed confusing.
If it were possible to know the sent time, then SF could flag stale messages
