I'm getting a message "Phone keeps stopping" on my Pixel. Is it legitimate?

[Android Central Question]

Whenever I try to open phone app, message appears and cannot be dismissed. Available options are "App info", Close app" and "send feedback". I'm concerned it it a phishing exploit

Welcome to Android Central! That's a standard Android error message. Does this persist in Safe Mode? https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2852139?hl=en
