Go to Settings > Siri & Search > Automatically Send Messages, tap the toggle so it turns green, and Siri will know not to bother asking you to confirm.

While we’re talking about hanging up on calls, there’s a new feature in iOS 16 that lets you do this using Siri–which makes life a lot easier if you’re talking hands-free through the speaker. Just try to remember you’ve changed this, or you might get caught saying rude things about the person you thought you just hung up on.
