As of March 28, 2025, iPhone users within the European Union can now set Google Maps as their default navigation app, effectively replacing Apple Maps. This update comes after the latest iOS 18.4 release, which is expected to be available to the public soon. With this change, addresses seen on the web will open directly in Google Maps instead of Apple Maps. The feature is part of a broader set of options that allow users to choose default apps for various functions, including navigation, calls, texts, email, call filtering, web browser, translation, passwords, payments (in some regions), and keyboards. To access these settings, go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps on your iOS device. The article also mentions a recent update by WhatsApp that allows iPhone users to set it as the default app for calls and texts.
