If you could share more details about what you’re using (Android version, SMS app, perhaps phone model), then that might help others in the community to assist with your specific platform; however, I believe @dave27’s advice is sound, because I was able to recreate the problem (at least as I understand it) and also remediate it this way:

  1. In the Wyze app, I navigated to the Events tab and found an event I wanted to share.
  2. On the event screen, I tapped the Share button.
  3. The drawer that slid up from the bottom offered Share with Messages (my default SMS app) as the first app suggestion, along with the Just once and Always choices. I tapped Always.
  4. Instead of selecting a recipient and trying to send the message, I hit the Android back button and swiped through several other events, hitting Share on each one. Every time, the Wyze app initiated a share to Messages without offering me a choice. I believe this is the experience @pawsitively described.
  5. On my phone’s home screen, I long-pressed the Messages icon and then tapped the icon in the pop-up menu to open App info.
  6. At the bottom of the App info screen, I tapped Advanced to expand that section.
  7. I swiped up to reveal Open by default and tapped that.
  8. On the Open by default screen, the OTHER DEFAULTS section informed me: “You’ve chosen to launch this app by default for some actions.” I hit the Clear defaults button.
  9. I navigated back to the Wyze app and attempted to Share another event, and this time I was presented with my original choices instead of having Share take me directly to Messages.

I did this with Wyze app v3.2.1.581 on a phone running Android 10. Your experience will likely be different depending on which Android version you’re using.
