iOS 14 is now eight developer beta old and continues to introduce new features for the users. The latest system update enables the user to set Google Chrome as their default browser on their iPhones. Normally, Apple and iOS steer clear away from third-party apps and services. However, stepping up to the new iOS 14, Apple is allowing the integration of its services with non-official apps. I have put up the steps that you need to follow and set the Chrome browser as the default browsing medium on your iPhone powered by iOS 14.

By default, the iPhone uses the Safari browser because privacy is the primary focus of Apple’s devices. Keep in mind that if you use Safari, you can dodge the trackers that follow you from any website you visit. Even if you set the Chrome browser as the default browsing app, you can evade cross-website tracking. There is an option to disable the trackers. To be compatible with iOS and its privacy-focused setup Chrome uses the Apple Webkit. So, the users will have a secure browsing experience.
