why do i get this, failed sending messages (error: general error)

[Android Central Question]

Hi guys and ladies..

Ever since the last update end of July I have been getting the transparent pop up in the middle of my screen "Failed sending messages (Error: General Error)" its on random times, not even sending a msg. I have cleared cache partion
And also done a factory restore.
this is at complete random times even when im on the home screen

I can't find anything or what apps causing the issue.

If anyone can assist would be awesome.

What messaging app are you using? Are you using WiFi or mobile network data?

I've got the same issue going on. S8, Blue Mail. The error pops up after every message is sent, but the message always goes through. Started about 1-2 weeks ago.
