On iOS:
Go to the native messaging client and open a chat stream with a few chat bubbles. When you swipe on the screen towards the left you see all time stamps for all messages, even for those which were sent/received within the same minute. What iOS doesn't display is the day, which can be very inconvenient.
On Android:
The native messaging app (pre forced hangout) is displaying a time stamp on every single chat bubble, however gives a summary of the day by sectioning the chat stream.
Bottom line, I think we should display a time stamp for every single message but I believe there is a good visual solution for splitting day and time somehow.
