S7 messaging crippled

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is unable to show sent and read receipts for text messages. This was tested using two S7 devices with the default Messages app. AT&T technical support confirmed that the S7 does not have Advanced Messaging capabilities. More information on Advanced Messaging is available from AT&T at:

https://m.att.com/shopmobile/wireless/features/advanced-messaging.html

Removing the Advanced Messaging feature from the S7 when it is available on the S5 Mini and S6 Active is inconsistent will all of AT&T's marketing material that indicates the S7 is the most advanced device. Verizon's analogous text messaging feature has worked for years on their devices such as the Motorola Droid Turbo.

2016-03-14 Edit: Qualified S5 and S6 models that have Advanced Messaging capabilities.

My point was you made it sound like it was on all s5 and s6 but that's not the case.
