You can now use Google Chrome as the default browser on your iPhone or iPad.

For several versions of iOS and iPadOS we can change the default browser on our iPhone or iPad. That is, we can configure Google Chrome, for example, as an alternative to Safari and that each link received by apps like Mail or WhatsApp opens by default in the Google app.
