As an iPhone user, you might have noticed that the default Maps app is Apple Maps. While it works great, some users might prefer using Google Maps instead. Fortunately, there are ways to set Google Maps as your default map app on your iPhone.
Here’s how you can do it:
1. Download Google Chrome
If you haven’t already, download Google Chrome for iOS from the App Store. You’ll need this app to make Google Maps your default map app.
2. Set Google Chrome as your default browser
Open the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll down to find the Google Chrome app. Click on it and then select “Default Browser App.” Choose Chrome as your default browser. Now, every time you tap on an address in Chrome, you’ll be asked whether you want to open it in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
3. Set Gmail as your default email app
Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select “Gmail” from the app list. Click on “Default Mail App” and then select Gmail. Now, whenever you tap on an email address, it will automatically open in Gmail.
4. Change the default app settings in Gmail
Open the Gmail app and tap on the menu icon in the top left corner. Scroll down and select “Settings” and then click on “Default App.” Under “Navigate from your location,” select Google Maps. Also, under “Navigate between locations,” choose Google Maps again. Now, whenever you click on an address within an email in the Gmail app, you can choose whether you want to use Google Maps or Apple Maps.
And that’s it! By following these steps, you can set Google Maps as your default map app on your iPhone. Enjoy using your preferred app for directions and navigation.
