To change the default search engine from Safari to Google on your iPhone, follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. You can usually find it on your home screen, represented by a gray gear icon.
2. Scroll down the list of options and locate the Safari app. It should be towards the middle of the list. Tap on it to open the Safari settings.
3. Within the Safari settings, you will find various options to customize your browsing experience. Look for the “Search Engine” section and tap on it.
4. In the Search Engine section, you will see a list of available search engines. The default search engine is typically set to Google. However, if you want to change it, tap on the search engine currently selected to open a list of alternatives.
5. From the list of search engines, choose Google. You can simply tap on it to select it as your new default search engine.
Once you have selected Google as your default search engine, it will be used whenever you perform a search within Safari. This means that when you type a search query in the address bar or use the search bar on Safari’s homepage, the results will be provided by Google.
Please note that these instructions may vary slightly depending on the version of iOS you’re using on your iPhone or iPad. However, the general steps should be similar across most versions.
Changing the default search engine to Google can be beneficial if you prefer using Google’s search algorithms, features, and personalized results. However, other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo also offer their own unique features and benefits. You can explore these options and choose the search engine that best suits your needs and preferences.
I hope this helps you change the default search engine from Safari to Google on your iPhone or iPad. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
