How can I change the default number for a contact when texting? I have one that defaults to his email and another defaults to work number. I have to manually change everytime.

Instead of opening Messages, open their “card” in contacts, tap Message, then tap the address you want to use.

The next time you want to message them tap on the previous thread in the Messages app and it will use the same address.
