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.

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

Just like web browsers, there are a few email apps that haven’t been supported by their developers yet, so all you can do is be patient and wait for future updates. Since this is a new feature in iOS 14, most email apps should support it soon.

Setting the default email app and web browser on iOS 14 is that simple.
