iPhone 13 Pro Max voice texting redirects to WhatsApp

Every time I voice text while I’m driving it automatically goes to WhatsApp instead of messages. I need this to stop. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. It is completely updated. What’s the problem?

By default, Siri does not allow you to set up a preferred messaging app; it always uses the iOS Messages app. Your car model and the CarPlay infotainment system in the Car may trigger this behavior.


To Siri, say "Send a message to [contact] using Messages" instead of "Send a message to [contact]".
