Galaxy S8 And Galaxy S8 Plus: How To Enable Delivery Report For Text Messages

Text messages are a great alternative to making calls from your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 Plus. Whether the person you’re trying to reach cannot take calls or simply doesn’t want to answer your calls but you need to deliver a message, texting is the best option. Just to ease all your worries and make sure that your important message has reached the destination, it is very important that you have the delivery report for text messages in place.

Through this free service, you will automatically receive a notification whenever the recipient received your text message. Even if that person had the phone turned off or was in an area with no signal, a few hours later, when his or her smartphone will become functional and the message will be delivered, you will receive the SMS delivery report.

This way, you will be able to tell whether that person is simply ignoring you or the message didn’t get to the other phone just yet. If this sounds like something you would appreciate having on your device, read on and you will discover the easy steps required for activating the message receipt or SMS delivery report:

1. Go to the Home screen;
2. Launch the main Menu;
3. Access the Android settings;
4. Go to Applications and tap on it;
5. Select Messages;
6. Tap on Advanced Settings;
7. Go to SMS;
8. Identify the Deliver Reports option;
9. Tap on the switch next to it and turn the feature On.

From now on, every time when you send a text message from Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 Plus, you will also receive a Delivery Report notification at the very moment when the recipient receives your message.

Just keep in mind that this is only a delivery confirmation, not a read report, which means that even though you can tell for a fact that your message ended up on the other phone, you will be clueless on whether that person has read it or not.
