In this way, Apple ensures most of its users stay within the Apple ecosystem, including using lucrative premium services, such as Apple TV, Apple Music, iTunes, and iCloud. The result was that most iOS users take the path of least resistance and settle for using Mail as their email client and Safari as their browser. One of the ways it has done this is to prevent third-party apps that compete with its own apps from being set as the default apps used by iOS. IOS has always been a “walled garden” that Apple keeps under tight control. Here we talk about why this matters and, toward the bottom, how you can change your default mail app to Proton Mail. This is a welcome decision from Apple to allow users to choose their preferred email service, and means that “mailto” links can now open in Proton Mail instead of Apple’s Mail app.Īlthough this is a small change, it represents a win for privacy because you can now more meaningfully control how you send and receive data on your own device. If you’re an iPhone or iPad user, you can now set Proton Mail (new window) as your default email app in the latest version of iOS. Last update on NovemPublished on November 25, 2020
