iPhone OS 16.2 messages app creating a new message when I first open it?

Today when I open the messages app, it automatically throws me into a new message, as if it is assuming I want to create or compose a new message. It puts me in the to: field. It did not used to do this. How do I prevent it from doing this. It used to just put me in the list of messages even if the message list was empty. Is this a bug in maybe a new update of the iphone messages app?

It doesn't matter if the device is restarted or if I closed the app, the message app always goes to the conversation list, it doesn't open a new message which is fine with me. Hope you can figure it out.

well I restarted the phone, now everything is working fine. No problems. I left my phone on and did not restart it in 3 to 5 days or so. That was probably the issue, it just needed a full restart.
