iOS devices (from iOS 14 and up) are able to change and set the default mail app. Similar to comparable features on Android as well as Windows and Mac, after the feature is set, any email link that is clicked will be opened using the default browser.

  1. Open Settings and navigate to any browser app except the default Mail app (this example will use Gmail) by either scrolling down or searching it. (Swipe down slightly to reveal search bar)
