The date changes only once every 24 hours. Printing it every few seconds during a chat conversation is naive. We can do better than this by (1) printing the date only when the date changes between successive messages and (2) showing the date in history bubbles. This would solve the problems mentioned with the exact amount of UI needed, not with way more UI than the user needs.
