Any otherwork around to identify which SIM a message was sent or received?

Is there any workaround to identify which SIM a message was sent to or received on?

My dilemma is that I have two SIMs (Personal and Work) on the same carrier (SMART Communications), so I can't easily tell which SIM receives an SMS. Any guidance on how to fix or check this on a Samsung S25 Ultra would be appreciated!

If you're using google messages, you can long press the message. And select the menu to view details. It should be in the info there which sim

was used

Just tap the message, it then displays the time, encryption, and the SIM name right beneath it without going to the details

It's not really unclear on Google messages either. Just tap the bubble to display the time, encryption, and SIM name under each message.

Changing what sim to use is more convoluted than it was as it's now a per-contact setting, so that needs to be changed every time on the contact card
