Default apps - no setting for Video calling app

[bd700pilot]

I have WhatsApp on my phone. I use FaceTime for video calling.

Unlike for browsers or mail apps, there is no default video calling setting I can find anywhere in iOS of WhatsApp.

I don't use WhatsApp for video calling, only FaceTime.

But now when I tap on certain contacts in the Phone app or Contacts app, and the tap on the video call icon below their names, it tries to make a WhatsApp call. Certain contacts is uses FaceTime.

Cannot figure out how to make it use FaceTime for all video calls, other than using Siri to "FaceTime" such and such.

Did you set WhatsApp as your default Messaging or Calling app? The OS is probably just not granular enough to figure out the difference. Just set everything back to the Apple defaults and it should go back to FaceTime.

It‘s supposed to smartly select a default in the contact sheet. You can override it by long pressing the video call button in the contact card.

I have erased and reset my phone, not restored. I am logged into FaceTime in settings. When I tap on a contact card in Phone app, the video calling icon is greyed out, but if I use Siri to "FaceTime my wife" it works. what the heck....

If you don’t list the phone as an iphone, it grays out the video setting for me.
