OnePlus: Turn SMS Delivery Reports On or Off

When you send a text message, you often have no way of knowing whether it actually landed on the recipient's phone. On OnePlus phones, a hidden setting can request a delivery report from your carrier for every SMS you send. If that option is turned off, or you are not sure which SIM it applies to on a dual SIM device, you will keep sending messages blind.

SMS Delivery Reports: Enable or Disable auf OnePlus

SMS delivery reports let your carrier confirm that a text you sent was received by the other phone. On OnePlus phones running OxygenOS, this confirmation is a network feature, not something the app calculates on its own. If the carrier does not support it, turning the setting on will not produce any report, no matter how the option is configured.

You manage this per SIM card, which matters if your OnePlus phone runs two SIM cards at once. Each SIM can have its own carrier and its own delivery report behavior, so enabling it on one line does not automatically enable it on the other.

To change it, open Open the Messages appOpen the menuOpen the SettingsChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Enable or disable Get SMS delivery reports. Repeat the same steps for the second SIM if you use dual SIM and want reports on both lines.

If reports never show up after enabling this, the issue usually sits with the carrier rather than the phone. Some providers only support delivery reports for SMS sent within their own network, not across networks.

Frequently asked questions

Delivery reports depend on network support from your carrier. If your provider does not offer this service, or the recipient is on a network that does not forward the confirmation, no report will appear even with Get SMS delivery reports turned on.
