No SIM indicator in Notification...


APP:Samsung Messages 
Feature request:Show SIM icon alongwith Messages - in Notification. 


 Elaborate explanation:

 • I use 2 SIM cards in my phone.
 • Both SIMs are ofsame Network Provider.
 •• So, Whenever I get an SMS (/RCS message), it becomes very difficult to understand that from which SIM I got the message! 
 -By reading the message from notification (i.e. without opening the app!)

 • If the notification would also show the SIM ICON (1️⃣,2️⃣ or SIM number or any other indicator) then it would be very helpful.

••• Please start showing such SIM INDICATORS. And fix the issues.

THANK YOU.

Hi! 👋
Currently, Samsung Messages doesn’t show the SIM icon directly in the notification. However, you can try this:

👉 Go to: Settings > Connections > SIM Manager
👉 Set different names, icons, or colors for SIM 1 and SIM 2 — this will help you identify them more easily inside the app and in certain menus.

Thanks for the response.

But, I've no issue in Apps.. bcz, The apps does show SIM1 , SIM2 and also Icons that I've already set.

The issue is with notification, whenever I get a message.. in the notification there is no such indicator like SIM1, SIM2 or any Icon.

Ah, thank you for clarifying! Now I fully get your point. 💡

You’re right — the app itself shows SIM indicators nicely, but the notification banner or status bar preview doesn’t display which SIM received the message.
This is actually a design limitation in Samsung’s current Messages + One UI notification system.
👉 You're not missing any hidden setting — this is genuinely a feature gap. Samsung should consider this in a future One UI update!

Yeah, Samsung developers always miss such minor but important details in ONE UI.
