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.
Quick look at how to change default browser and email 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 may be because its developers haven't yet supported this feature. Web browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge already support this feature.
To set your preferred email browser as default on iOS, follow these steps:
Go to Settings , use the search bar to find your email app. Or you can scroll down and find it in the list.
Next, select Default Mail App
Choose an app other than Mail as your default email client.
Set Default Mail Account
To set a default email account in the Mail app, do the following:
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.
