Issues with Google assistant and WhatsApp calls

Hi! I recently acquired a Samsung s20+, after years of having an iPhone.
I use voice assistant to make WhatsApp calls quite a lot since I have to talk to people abroad, while I'm driving.
I never had issues with iPhone doing this, but now with Google Assistant it hasn't been possible. samsung ringtones, Whenever I try to make a WhatsApp call or videocall, it just uses the built in phone app. So far the only thing the Assistant can do on WhatsApp is sending text messages.

I contacted Google customer support , but they weren't helpful at all. Thought I ask around here.

You have a Samsung, correct?

Isn't the assistant app on a Samsung called Bixby?

So what you need to do is to change the default assistant app to be the one that you desire.

As I don't have your device, the best I can do is to show you how to access the assistant default app settings on the device that I am using at the moment.

It is an Android, so the directions should be similar, although may not be exact.

At any rate, since your new to Android, this will give you sort of a brief and limited tour around a few of the settings.

Start from the homepage.
Goto:

Settings
Apps & notifications
Advanced
Default apps
Assist & voice input

Assist
(and or)
Voice input

Here is where you can make your selections.
