How to change default browser and email on iPhone

In this article, QuanTriMang will guide you how to change the default browser and email reader on iPhone.

This is a notable change since iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. Previously, Apple did not allow iPhone and iPad users to change the default email browser to the built-in Mail app, and the web browser was required to be Safari.

This means tasks will go through the operating system and run on third-party applications such as receiving, sending, composing emails and opening links instead of having to use the Mail or Safari applications as before.

Change default web browser on iPhone

To set your preferred web browser app as the default on iOS, follow these steps:

Step 1 : Go to Settings > scroll down and click on any browser you have installed on your iPhone, for example here I choose Chrome.

Step 2: Click Default Browser App and select the browser you want to set as default.

 

If the app you want doesn't appear, it's possible that the app's developers haven't yet supported this feature. Web browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge already support this feature.
