In the version of iOS 14 released to the public this week, there is a massive caveat to the new default browser and settings. After you’ve made that change, all links will automatically open in Chrome instead of Safari. You simply head into the Settings app, look for Chrome, then choose the “Default Browser App” setting and make the change.
A bug in the first public release of iOS 14, however, causes your default browser or mail app setting to reset to Mail or Safari when your iPhone or iPad reboots.įor example, let’s say you wanted to change your default web browser from Safari to Google Chrome. One of the new features in iOS 14 is the ability to change the default email or browser app to a third-party alternative such as Chrome, Edge, or Outlook.
