To switch from Safari to Chrome as your default web browser on your iPhone or iPad, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Chrome app on your device. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the App Store.
2. Once you have opened Chrome, tap on the “More” button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen. It looks like three dots in a vertical line.
3. In the menu that appears, tap on “Settings.” This will take you to the Chrome settings page.
4. Scroll down and look for the option labeled “Default browser.” Tap on it.
5. On the next screen, you will see a button that says “Open Chrome settings.” Tap on it.
6. This will open the iOS settings for Chrome. Look for the section that says “Default browser app” and tap on it.
7. In the Default browser app settings, you should see a list of available browsers on your device. Look for Chrome and tap on it to set it as your default browser.
After completing these steps, any links you open from other apps or emails will now automatically open in Chrome instead of Safari.
It’s important to note that while Chrome can be set as the default browser, certain apps may still open links in Safari due to their own settings or limitations. However, for most cases, Chrome will now be your default browser for browsing the web on your iPhone or iPad.
I personally switched from Safari to Chrome a few years ago and have found it to be a great alternative. Chrome offers a seamless browsing experience with features like tab syncing, built-in translation, and easy access to bookmarks and history. It also integrates well with other Google services if you use them. I have been happy with the switch and find Chrome to be a reliable and user-friendly web browser.
In summary, to switch from Safari to Chrome as your default web browser on your iPhone or iPad, open the Chrome app, go to Settings, tap on Default browser, open Chrome settings, and set Chrome as your default browser app.
