I noticed today that there is a telephone icon instead of "sent via sms" does anyone have a idea? I use Samsung Galaxy A03s

Hello! 🙂 Which message app are you using?

Regular Samsung message

I suspected, but I had to confirm. 😅 The info I was able to find on this was very sparse. My opinion is that this is an RCS chat feature indicating the person is actively available to receive calls in real-time, aka they are using the device.

Ok, thanks for trying to help 😊

No worries, it a "best-guess," but it could only mean a certain number of things lol. Would you happen to be on T-Mobile?

No, I use Cricket Wireless
