iCloud as phone number

When I send messages to people it comes up with my iCloud address and not my phone number. How can I change that?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Select your preferred starting contact in Apple Messages settings.


Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > select your preferred starting contact info.


If you want a telephone number and not an Apple ID as the default, select that.
