Question: SMS sent on its own??!!

I use a iPhone 7, 128 Gboard. I keep getting a pop up every now and then saying “your iPhone sent a sms”.. is so annoying. In the first place, why is my iPhone sending sms without my permission? To whom is the SMS sent? How do I stop my iPhone to send messages on its own?

iPhone 7 Plus

My iPhone is running on iOS 13.4.1 which I believe is the latest version. The pop up is very random. It’s not on any Particular app. It’s pops up even when the phone is in lock screen mode. I tried capturing the image which I am attaching herewith. Pls help me eradicate this issue. I’m very annoyed with this bug!!

That is a Flash SMS. It is something you need to provide to your carrier. It is like spam, and in many countries illegal. Your phone did not send a message, this is just an irritating message that will popup on your device. Your carrier should be able to block these.
