You can't set any apps as default apps on your iPhone.


In Google's apps, you can, in the settings for that app, select which apps that app will link to. For example, in the Google Search app, tap on the settings icon in the upper left of the main screen. Tap on Google App Settings. You will then be able to select which mapping app to use. The procedure is similar with other Google apps.

Hello Usama713,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like another maps app to be your default map app. Resetting your Location Services may help and allow you to choose another maps app of your choosing. The following article has information on how to reset your Location Services:

About privacy and Location Services in iOS 8 and later - Apple Support

If you would like to reset all of your location settings to the factory default, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location & Privacy. When your location and privacy settings are reset, apps will stop using your location until you grant them permission.

Best Regards.
