SIM Label in SMS

while receiving SMS or MMS, there is no SIM label shown thus unable to identify on which SIM (eSIM or Physical SIM) the message has received. Is there any setting on which this feature can be activated?

You are right. There is not label (eSIM or Physical SIM) identifier in plain sight for SMS messages or iMessages. The only way to find out which SIM received a given message is by clicking on the message and then tapping on the sender's name (top) and then choosing "I" for info and that will reveal which SIM was used to receive that message.

Label your plans

After your second plan is activated, label your plans. For example, you can label one plan Business and the other plan Personal.

You'll use these labels when you choose which phone number to use for making or receiving calls and messages, to designate a number for cellular data, and to assign a number to your contacts so you know which number you will use.

If you change your mind later, you can change your labels by going to Settings, tapping either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tapping the number whose label you want to change. Then tap Cellular Plan Label and select a new label or enter a custom label.
