Personally,people have different needs.Reason i need it lolPersonally I don't think it's necessary and you can't with the stock app.
It annoys me as well. It's important to me if I missed a text five minutes ago or thirty minutes ago. Every other phone I have ever had has done this.
I believe smsenhancer is ios 5 compatible....

Lifesaver. Thank you.. I have need for this.
Unfortunately it's not available for purchase in Cydia for iOS 5.
Apple is slacking. Every minute matters when in a txting battle. Two minutes go by, phone is back in her purse.....
Adding to the pile here - I despise that it's not a standard thing on the iPhone. I don't understand why it's not there...
Hawha. Love this phrase..and you're sitting there waiting like a muppet for another 30 minutes...
Got to agree with maddog91 here.
It's necessary for me because my friends/gf/etc bitches to me when i don't text back fast enough and i can't actually prove it to them what time i texted back lol, so i end up losing the argument
I think Apple did this because they want to keep it like a messenger chat. Like constantly flowing.

And it's annoying when you're texting someone for like an hour or so and then they send back "be there in 5mins" (5 minutes my ass). No time stamp on when they sent the text and you're sitting there waiting like a muppet for another 30 minutes...
This is one if the things that frick'n irritates me about Apple. They consistently choose style over functionality.
I believe that if you go back to the main list of conversations, it will add a timestamp to the next incoming message, but you shouldn't have to do that after every single text.
Only in iOS 7, not in prior iOS versions.All you do is slide your finger to the left on the iMessage.it works
