iMessage icon has a red exclamation point

I’m trying to find out why my iMessage icon on my iPad Mini 2 has a red exclamation point on it. When I open the app I can’t seem to find any notification so I have no idea what it wants. I only have 3 not very long conversations in there so I shouldn’t need to free up space.

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1

Did you go to Settings>Messages to see if you need to sign something in again, or verify something?


I would suggest going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap on your Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in to see if that resolves the issue.


Best,
