Steps to Check the Timestamp of Messages on Mac OS
- Open the Messages app on your Mac.
- Go to any conversation or start a new one.
- Hover your mouse over any chat bubble for a second or two.
- A small pop-up will appear, showing you the date and time the message was sent or received.
This works for all types of messages, including iMessages, SMS, multimedia messages, and even Facebook Messenger and AIM. Simply hover over the chat bubble to reveal the timestamp.
If you’re scrolling through a conversation, the timestamp will be displayed as you hover over each message individually. However, when starting a new conversation or after a long gap, the timestamp will automatically appear at the top of the thread.
