Beginning with iOS 14 and iPadOS, you can change the default apps for your mail and web browser on your iPhone and iPad, respectively. Here are the steps to do so.
What this means
For the first time in the history of iOS, you can now assign default apps on your mobile devices. Until now, the native Mail and Safari apps served these purposes and still do unless you make a manual change.
To change your default apps, you must have iOS 14/iPadOS 14 installed on your devices. Additionally, third-party apps must support this feature.
