Directions always open from google maps

I can’t click any links to get Apple Maps to work. They all open with google. Even without the google maps app. It just opens online then tries to redirect me to getting the google maps app. I’ve checked all my setting for the default app to be maps but it still doesn’t work. It is really frustrating. If I use Siri, it opens in Apple Maps but that’s the only way it works. It is getting frustrating to not be able to use the phones default map app.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
