Apple rolled out iOS 14 for eligible iPhones earlier in September ahead of the iPhone 12 launch. The new iOS 14 update is a host to a whole lot of new features and upgrades, both visually and internally. Among the list of best iOS 14 features is an option to set select third-party apps like Gmail as default, instead of native Apple apps.
iOS 14 lets users set third-party email applications as default for the iPhone and iPad, provided developers of these apps add support for the feature. Gmail, one of the most popular email applications, already supports this feature, giving iPhone users an option to set the email client as a default alternative to Apple Mail.
