Apple doesn’t provide any option to change the default browser until iOS 13.

Why use Google Chrome on iPhone?
Many of us use Google products like Gmail, Chrome, and Google Docs. You can sign in with a single account and sync saved passwords, history, and payment methods. Because of this great integration, using Chrome can help streamline your workflow and complete tasks quickly.
Let’s take an example that you receive a newsletter in an email. Currently, clicking any link in the newsletter will open the page in the Safari app. Since iOS 14, however, you can change that to open the default links with Chrome.
After opening the page in Chrome, you can sign in or pay bills using stored password/payment methods available in your Google account on all your devices.
First, go to the App Store and install the Google Chrome app on your iPhone. Tap on the “Settings” app and scroll down to find the “Chrome” app.
Go to Chrome settings
Alternatively, you can swipe down from the settings screen to search and find the Chrome settings page.
Search in Chrome settings
The “Default Browser Application” option will display “Safari”.
Select the default browser app
Tap on that option and choose “Chrome” from the available browsers on your iPhone.
Select Chrome
Whenever you tap a link in Mail or another app, iPhone asks you to confirm opening the page in Chrome instead of Safari.

Similarly, you can change the default browser to any other app like Firefox or Edge.
Set Edge as Default
At any time, you can change the default browser back to Safari as explained above. Remember, you can change the default browser from the settings of any other browser app.
The Safari app settings don’t show the option to change the default browser at first. However, once you change the default browser, the Safari settings page will display the option to change the browser.
