iOS 15.5 default browser is set for chrome. When clicking on a link it may go to chrome once. But after that it defaults to safari when a link is clicked. Anyone encounter this? Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello Cotehele,


Ensuring the desired web browser is being used is important and you've come to a great place for help! It sounds as though you've verified the default browser in Settings > Chrome, but not all links open with your default browser. Since having this issue have you verified Google Chrome is updated to the latest version? If not, check for updates by going in to the App Store > [tap you profile icon], then tap Update All or Update next to the desire apps.


If your apps are updated or the issue continues, restart your iPhone using the steps listed below.


  1. "Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."


Restart your iPhone


Let us know how that goes!
