First, open the Settings app on your Android phone. Then scroll down and tap on Apps or Apps & notifications, depending on your device.
Next, look for Default apps or tap Choose default apps. Inside this section, find the option labeled Browser app.
Tap on Browser app, and you will see a list of installed browsers. Select Google Chrome from the list.

Once selected, Chrome becomes your default browser. This means any links you open from apps like email, WhatsApp, or social media will automatically open in Chrome.
If you do not see Chrome in the list, make sure it is installed and updated from the Google Play Store. Also, some Android versions may label settings slightly differently, so you might need to search for “default apps” in the Settings search bar.
In summary, setting Chrome as your default browser on Android ensures a smoother and more consistent browsing experience across all apps.
