AT&T will now show you a green check mark for validated calls on some Android phones
AT&T announced on Wednesday that it has turned on call validation displays for certain Android phones. That way, you can easily determine if you’re getting a spoofed robocall or a call from a spammer.
If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, or an LG V40 ThinQ and you get a call from a number that AT&T has authenticated, you’ll now see a green check mark to the right of that number and a message saying that it’s a “Valid number.”
Here’s what that message looks like:

If you subscribe to AT&T’s Digital Home Phone service, you can also turn on call validation, and AT&T says you’ll see a “[V]” next to a valid number. AT&T also validates calls if you’re an iPhone user, but right now, there’s no way to know if a call is authenticated when you see the number on your screen — instead, you have to check your call log after the fact.
AT&T is authenticating numbers using the SHAKEN/STIR standards, and it’s rolling call validation out as part of its robocall-blocking AT&T
How to check read receipts
Check marks will appear next to each message you send. Here's what each one means:
- The message was successfully sent.
- The message was successfully delivered to the recipient's phone or any of their linked devices.
- The recipient has read your message.
Note:
- If the recipient's phone is off and the message isn’t delivered to any of their linked devices, the second check mark won’t appear.
- In a group chat, the second check mark appears when everyone has received your message. Two blue check marks appear when everyone has read your message.
- Read receipts reset when you edit a message, so you can see who viewed your updates.
- Seeing a clock means the message is not yet sent or delivered. This could be due to connectivity issues.
- It isn’t possible to change the color of the check marks or clock.
Message info screen
The message info screen displays details of when your sent message was delivered, read, or played by the recipient.
Note: When a member leaves a group, the Message info screen will still show the original information with all members. This includes the member who left the group.
