RCS Chats awaiting verification, how long it takes?

Diston — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:09:42 GMT

I recently bought a new phone, and I requested a new O2 SIM with same number which I've since inserted in the new phone, I'm pretty sure RCS chats on Google messages was working after I'd done this, however now its saying setting up, trying to verify your phone number, how long should it take to be verified?

I've tried clearing cache and data and resetting network settings but it still says as I mentioned earlier.

Hope this is the right board if not I apologise.

@Diston

It all depends on Googles servers usually its instant, but sometimes it has a bit of a hissy fit, and wont activate..
