How do I set a default browser on an iPhone®?

In the Settings app on your iPhone® or iPad®, you can set a default browser! Once you select your default browser, links from text messages or emails will automatically open in it.

Before You Begin

• App Compatibility: To choose your default browser on your iPhone® or iPad®, you must have Covenant Eyes app version 5.4.1 or later.
  
  
• Operating System Compatibility: You must have iOS (iPhone® operating system) 14 or newer on your iPhone® or iPad® to select a default browser.

Set a Default Browser

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone® or iPad®.
   
2. Scroll down and tap “Covenant Eyes.”
   
3. Tap “Default Browser App.”
   
4. On the Default Browser App screen, tap the default browser.
   

   If you have iOS (iPhone® operating system) 15.1 or newer, we recommend you use Safari as your default browser. If you use iOS 14 or lower, use Covenant Eyes as your default browser.
