European iPhone users were surprised with a prompt to choose their default browser after updating to iOS 17.4 on #DMADay. The list of default browser options included the most downloaded browsers in their country from the year before, giving users a variety of choices.
However, the user experience of setting the default browser was found to be confusing for many. Instead of an option clearly labeled as “Browser,” the default setting was buried under “Safari,” causing some users to initially select Chrome but ultimately switch back to Safari.
Despite this confusion, some users are considering a potential switch to Chrome in the future if Apple’s WebKit is replaced with Blink. This could mean a larger shift in default browser choices among European iPhone users in the coming months.
Overall, the update to iOS 17.4 has sparked a conversation about default browser options and user experience, giving European iPhone users a chance to reevaluate their browsing preferences. Stay tuned to Female Arts for more tech updates and news.
