Hi there,


See this in order to set your default browser on iPhone


How to change your default web browser or email app 

  1. Go to Settings and scroll down until you find the browser app or the email app.
  2. Tap the app, then tap Default Browser App or Default Mail App.
  3. Select a web browser or email app to set it as the default. A checkmark appears to confirm it's the default.

It sounds like a bug that you cannot see Safari in the default browser settings under Chrome. If you delete the Chrome app and install Safari, your default browser will be Safari again. But you can also try to do a restart and see if the error corrects itself, and you can see Safari in the default browser settings.


EDIT:

Note. Safari cannot be uninstalled. I myself have both Chome and Safari, and I can easily switch between default Safari and default Chrome. So maybe a restart, or a reinstall of Chrome?

I see it. I got to read ProustGiulio text as if it were about Chrome. But the procedure is the same for all browsers.


Have you tried deleting the 3rd party browser and rebooted afterwards.
