Up until a couple of days ago, when I googled using Safari, it would open directions in Apple maps. Now everything is opening in Google Maps (either web or app). I don't like Google maps. I have searched and tried everything to get Maps back to my default. Suggestions?

Hello AMGerogia,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
Searching for addresses in web browsers is really going to depend on which search engine is being used. If such as if Safari has Google set for the search engine, you will see Google Maps pull up the address. If you use browser DuckDuckGo, they do use Apple Maps as their default.
If you have further questions, please let us know.
Have a great weekend!
Hi,
You're welcome! Do you have the Google Maps app installed? If so, have you tried deleting the app to see if that helps? If needed, see Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
After deleting the app, if you still get Google as the default map you may want to reach out to Apple Support. They can be reached at Get Support.
Let us know anytime you have questions.
Take care!
Thanks for the reply. It USED to go directly to maps. So I don’t understand the change.
also even in Facebook and other apps, when I click on an address it takes me to Google instead of Maps. Any ideas on how to correct this? I hate Google maps :(
