To make Google Chrome your default browser on an iPhone or iPad, you need to change the default browser setting in your device’s system settings.
First, ensure that Google Chrome is installed on your device. If not, download it from the App Store.
Next, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Scroll down until you find Chrome, then tap on it.
Inside the Chrome settings, tap on Default Browser App. You will see a list of available browsers installed on your device. Select Chrome from the list.

Tips:

- If you don't find the option to change your default browser, update to the latest version of Chrome.

Once selected, Chrome becomes your default browser. This means that any links you open from apps like Mail, Messages, or social media will automatically open in Chrome instead of Safari.
If you do not see the “Default Browser App” option, make sure your device is running iOS 14 or later, as earlier versions do not support changing the default browser.
In summary, switching your default browser to Chrome on iPhone or iPad is a quick process that gives you a consistent browsing experience, especially if you already use Chrome on other devices.
