Why does my message app keep freezing on Samsung S8

[Android Central Question]

Whenever I try to send messages from my message app on my Android my phone freezes up

Welcome to Android Central! Are you using the stock messaging app? Does this persist after a reboot? Or in Safe Mode? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-34283

Try also going to Settings>Apps​, select your messaging app, tap Storage, then Clear Cache. Now see if the problem persists.
