Default Browser on iPhone

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.

If you didn't uninstall Safari app, you should re-enable that option in Settings>Safari>Default Browser

When done, restart your iPhone.

Regards

Giulio

Oops... and in the other browser option what happens if you tap and choose Safari?

I've used / tested Chrome & Firefox on my iPhones in the past, but then I deleted those apps.

If my memory serves me right, using Chrome I was able to go to Settings>Chrome>Default Browser app> tap on it and choose Safari

No idea about that behavior. Have you tried to investigate deeper by contacting the "different" browser's support team?

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 would give it a try...

1.Settings

2.Browser email app

3.Select browser and set it default

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.
