iOS 18.4 to Let EU iPhone Users Set Default Apps Like Google Maps

Apple has announced that starting in spring 2025, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will be able to set default navigation and translation apps, as part of its compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act. This feature is expected to be included in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, allowing users to choose apps like Google Maps or Google Translate as defaults instead of Apple's own apps. This move follows previous updates allowing default browser, mail, and other app settings.

"Microsoft streamlines default app management in Windows 11"

Microsoft plans to simplify changing default app settings in Windows 11 by offering a consistent "deep link URI" for apps to send users to the right place in the Settings app for changing app defaults. The company will also add a pop-up notification for newly installed apps that want to pin themselves to the Taskbar. These changes will be added to Windows in the coming months. The new features serve as a gentle rebuke to developers who handle things differently, such as Chrome and Firefox, which pin themselves to the Taskbar upon installation automatically without asking.
