The ability to change the default browser on iPhone can be done in a few simple steps, here’s how.
Learn how to change the default browser on iPhone
Before you begin, make sure your device is running iOS 14 or later and that you have the app installed on your device. In addition, make sure the browser app supports this feature.
- Launch Settings and scroll down until you find the browser app you want to select as the default browser.
- Next, tap Default Browser App.
- Tap on a web browser app to set it as the default.
Keep in mind, if you delete a selected web browser app, your iPhone will automatically set Safari as the default browser app. And, if you delete the Safari app, your iPhone will set one of your web browser apps as the default.
