Hey iPhone Users, You Can Now Make WhatsApp Your Default App For Calls And Messages

To all the iPhone users, here is some good news! The iOS users can now set WhatsApp as their default app for calling and messaging.

A new feature has been rolled out: after the recent iOS 18.2 update, the messaging app lets users set WhatsApp as their default messaging and calling app. This means that when they tap a phone number or message button, the iPhone will automatically launch WhatsApp instead of the built-in Phone or Messages apps.

Originally, the feature was expected to be restricted to users in the European Union, but it has since been made available worldwide.

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps
2. Tap the Messaging option and select WhatsApp.
3. Go back, tap the Calling option, and then select WhatsApp.WABetaInfo first noted the change, which, according to MacRumors, allows the Meta-owned messaging service to appear in the default menu for app selection within iOS settings.
