The latest version of the iPhone app, iOS 13, is a software worn and very easy to use, with many well-integrated systems to do the best work of the time. But that doesn't mean you choose to use other apps.
Try to name any Apple app that is selected for iOS and we will show you that there are alternatives made by an external developer of one of them, some of which, can be very helpful.
And is that & # 39; Calendar & # 39; okay, but & # 39;Fantastical & # 39; (recently changed to subscription model) is better. Mail with & # 39; Meil & # 39; s okay, but you'll get more out of it Gmail either The spark, where you can integrate different email servers.
Many of us prefer Google Maps to Apple Maps, even though this was updated months ago. And Safari offers many benefits over its rivals, such as web page reading mode, but it may not be your choice desktop.
One of the reasons why many users don't make the change is because Apple's own apps are set as default. This means that if you click on a web link, it will open in Safari;
Similarly, when you click on an email address, it will be displayed on Maps and not Google Maps. It's hard to change this behavior, but in this tutorial, we explore the best ways to use alternatives on your iPhone.
Automatically change default settings the prison
To be able to change predefined applications in iOS and to open web links, calendar invitations or street addresses for different applications, you must unlock your iPhone or apply
To do this, you must install certain apps to enable customization. There are three apps currently trying to try, and we'll add more details below:
- BrowserChooser lets you choose the default web browser without Safari. You will find instructions on how to install this app internally IPhoneHacks.
- MapOpener lets you configure Google Maps as your default Maps application, instead of Maps.
- Email ClientDefault10 That's what you need to change to email as default email; Gmail is a viable option, but compatible with Inbox, Outlook and Spark.
So, research on Cydia's third-party application name and you will likely find a solution for four phones the prison.
However, we should warn iPhone users with little information that Apple is not officially approving the prison on your device and may warrant a warranty of not using apps from legitimate sources, or exposing your device to it. malware
Change default apps in & # 39; Settings & # 39;
Pretending you don't want to do it the prison On your iPhone, you can choose to make the non-Apple app default in some of the locations described above. We explain how to do it.
For example, the most obvious is the web browser case. Let's say you want Chrome to be the default instead of Safari, which is impossible without the prison. But while iOS itself doesn't allow you to specify another default browser, other programs will approve it.
When using Flipboard, click the profile icon (the right icon in the bottom bar) and then press the & # 39; Settings & # 39; Tap & # 39; Browser & # 39; and then choose another. At least from this app, Chrome can open web links.
In Gmail, touch the three horizontal line icon in the top left corner, scroll down and touch & # 39; Settings> default apps & # 39; You can choose a compatible web browser, map app and calendar.
Similar options can be found in settings of other Google applications, such as Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Photos and Translation. You will need to search for and only find the option called the predetermina Default Applications & # 39;
Select a different app manually
After making your way through the app settings, you may still find some gaps: programs that refuse to allow you to change the default browser and continue to use Safari.
Try to find the best way, such as pressing and holding the link instead of pressing and releasing to explain what you want to open the option for.
In WhatsApp's iOS app, for example, when you touch and hold a web link, a page preview appears. After that you can touch the share icon below and touch more to finally press & # 39; Open in Chrome & # 39;
On WhatsApp, for example, everything is very simple, because when you press and hold a web link, the menu will appear with a & # 39; Open link & # 39; (compatible with Safari), or & # 39; Open in Chrome below & # 39; This is not a big problem.
What happens with the removal of the original program?
Apple lets you remove some pre-installed apps automatically from iOS, touch and hold the icon until it starts to shake. Then click & # 39; X & # 39; to confirm the removal. But we couldn't make iOS the default option.
We tested this process with Apple Maps and then typed the street address into notes. This is automatically converted to a URL link. If you click on it, it will not take you to Google Maps, but it will give you the option to restore Apple Maps.
This confirms, at least in iOS version 13, that many of Apple's most important programs, including Safari, Photos, Camera and Phone, cannot be deleted in any way.
It is worth changing the default settings
If you are a fan life imprisonment, or are willing to turn your iPhone into an unlocked device with this mode, then yes.
But if jailbreak does not carry you through all the risks associated with this, in addition to the loss of the warranty, you must decide whether the benefits of using a non-Apple system are enough to offset this practice and your risks.
If you are a fan of & # 39; Fantastical & # 39;, for example, and think it surpasses & # 39; Calendar & # 39; by all means, so it's worth looking at the settings in your other programs and trying to turn it into a default calendar app.
Once we've calculated the pros and cons, our iOS expert reporter recommends that we continue to use the default iPhone apps instead of the various alternatives.
There are logical variants, such as Google Maps above Apple Maps; If a webpage sends us to Apple Maps, we will support it. But it's a decision you have to make for yourself, with the implication that your Apple Watch only syncs with the related app.
