Ever get tired of your iPhone opening Safari or the Mail app when you open a link or an email address… especially if you never use them or have even deleted them? There’s a chance Apple may finally address your concern.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is “considering” allowing users to set rival apps to be the default for web browsing and mail in the imminent iOS 14. Apple‘s in-house apps are always set as the default in whatever activity you’re using your phone for. That’s not just the email and browser — as far as I know, there’s no way to change Apple Maps from being the default maps app. Bloomberg’s sources say this change would allow users to select which app would be the default for the given activity.
