IOS 14 users have also noticed that if you change the default email application, but keep your default browser app set to Safari, email links in Safari will still open in Apple’s Mail app rather than the third-party email client that you had set as your default. On Twitter, a Google Chrome engineer has acknowledged the problem, though the ball is likely in Apple’s court to roll out some sort of fix - unless this is bizarrely the intended behavior. To change the default email client from Apple Mail to the Google Web App (GWA) in Google Chrome, you need to do 2 things: 1) In Apple Mail, set Google Chrome as the default email reader: - open Apple Mail and select Preferences from the Mail menu - on the General tab, find Default email reader and click on the drop-down menu - click Select.
Click the Default email reader option, and select Microsoft Outlook. Open the Preferences menu, then select General. This is almost certainly some sort of bug on Apple’s side, because it is affecting email and browser apps from multiple companies including Google, Microsoft, and Readdle. If you are able to open the Apple Mail app (most people do since it comes preinstalled with macOS), the steps to configure Outlook as your default email app are as follows: Open Apple Mail. The same applies to email apps such as Microsoft Outlook and Spark as well. What this means is that if you set Chrome as the default browser, but then your iPhone dies or you need to reboot it, Safari will once again become the default browser app until you go back into the Settings app and make the change again. If you reboot your iPhone or iPad, the default app setting will reset to Apple’s first-party Mail and Safari applications. 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.
