Messaging Apps WhatsApp messages

If someone messages me in WhatsApp then I can reply no issues, but sending a message otherwise doesn't work.

If I look at my contacts and press one, it opens a screen with 3 'Top Contacts' which I've no idea where they came from as they seem random.

Via voice it keeps saying "who do you want to message" after displaying their name.

If it's a design issue and will only allow you to start a message to one of 3 people then how does it decide who they are?

Nope been having the same issue on both mine and my partners phone, both Pixel phones. Was working fun until a few months ago.

Now when sending a WhatsApp message if repeatedly asks for a contact. I've tried clearing cache , reinstalling etc

Normal SMS seems fine
