Morning all

Is there a bug in iOS 13 iMessage?

It seems to now have a strange habit of no longer selecting a contact’s mobile number when you start a new message. 

It often picks landline or email, unless I specifically tap the little arrow and pick mobile myself. 

Is it a new 'feature'? Or a bug? 

It’s a bit tedious to be honest! I don’t remember doing this before?!

Any help?!

Thanks

Adam

Lots of iOS 13 bugs, my Message app still randomly empties all but the last 4 messages and I have to restart the phone. It hasn’t been the most stable release!

I’ve not seen the behaviour you mentioned personally though.

Thanks Sam.

I don't like unstable releases!

This bug is irritating as it's just adding steps. Surely iOS is clever enough to know that if I tap a contact name in Messages, I want their mobile number and not landline?!

Come on Tim Apple!
