Why do i get random "message not sent" icon?

[AC Question]

At the top of my screen, the message icon with an exclamation point randomly shows up even when I didn't try to send a message. Not the triangle, the speak ballon.

Have you looked in your messaging apps to see if there is an unsent message error in there?
