Change iPhone default browser - how it works

You can also change your default browser on iPhone. You can find out exactly what you should pay attention to in this practical tip.

Change iPhone default browser with jailbreak

Unfortunately, you cannot select the standard browser directly in iOS. You need to jailbreak your device first. We'll show you how this works in another guide. You can then install and set your favorite browser:

1. Start the "Cydia" app store.
2. Touch Search at the bottom right.
3. Enter "Browser Changer" in the search field.
4. Then select the "Browser Changer" from the search results and click on "Install" in the top right corner. Then confirm by clicking on "Confirm".
5. After successful installation you will be asked to restart the SpringBoard.
6. To do this, tap on "Restart SpringBoard".
7. Now switch to "Settings" and then to the "Browser Changer" tab.
8. Here you can now select the standard browser under "Selected Browser". From now on, even links to other apps open in the selected browser.

This practical tip also works with the iPad. But you can change your system even without a jailbreak: In the next practical tip, read how to hide apps on the iPhone.
