Can’t send single text?

I’ve an iPhone 16e & I’m guessing since the latest update I can’t send a single text message. It only comes up with group text I’ve sent before.

if I go into contacts & click on the person I want to text, it comes up as send whats app.

How now do I send a single text to another iPhone or any phone?

Open the Settings App > all the way at the bottom tap Apps > At the top tap Default Apps > Messaging - change the check from WhatsApp to Messages.

Many thank for your reply but I’ve looked what you suggested & it’s already on messages.😔
