regular text message conversation changed to chat type S8+

That's because your phone updated so now all other people you message that have a Samsung, the messages will be turned into "chats." You can turn this off my going to settings in the messaging app (3 dots upper right). Not a conversation, but just open the messaging app. Then click chat settings. Then switch the default message type to "text/multimedia msgs."

To change back the SMS, go to your message app, click on the three dots on the top right corner, select settings, then chat settings, then default message type, select automatic or text/...

Has anyone actually managed to find a fix for this issue yet? I was able to send chat messages back and forth with my hubby perfectly fine one day, then the next day it no longer went as a chat message. 

How do I get it to go back to chat instead of sms/MMS? I have tried every suggestion in here so far and it still won't work! 

Here are my details.

Samsung Note 8

Model: SM-N950F

Baseband Version: N950FXXU5CRI1

Carrier: Telstra

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to turn off Delivery report. If you got to your Message app, there should be 3 dots at the top right. Click on Settings > More Settings > text messages. there you should be able to disable the Delivery reports.
