Red Exclamation Mark

On my iPhone 13 pro, I have a red exclamation mark attached to the sms symbol that won’t disappear. I have tried deleting all of my messages with no avail.


It first appeared when I swapped my SIM card over. I have the same Apple ID number but a different primary phone number.


How do I get rid of the exclamation mark?
