Google Messages RCS features seem to be randomly breaking for many users
One of the best features of using Google Messages is the Rich Communication Service (RCS), which enable modern text messaging features, like typing indicator, delivered/read status and many more.
Recently more and more users across support forum reported that RCS stop connecting randomly and can't reestablish the connection, stucking at "Connecting" or "Waiting to verify" status. Some even left out with the notice that "Chat features unavailable for this device". (Android Police)
