RCS stuck at Connecting

[JimMGrace]

Hi RCS is stuck at connecting.   I've tried all the steps to resolve.   Turned off RCS, cleared cache, forced stop , reset network settings then rebooted Samsung S21.  Turned RCS back on still stuck connecting. 

Is there a bigger issue going on?

Sometimes it is just a problem on the Google side

but try to uninstall Google Message, or click "Uninstall updates" to bring Google Message back to default

Reboot phone and reinstall Google Message and re-register RCS.  The re-registration could take longer, just be patient and wait
