To make Google Maps the default navigation app on your iPhone, we need to dive into the settings. Tap on the “Settings” app on your home screen to get started.

You’ll now see a list of available apps that can be set as default. Scroll down until you find “Google Maps” and tap on it.

If “Google Maps” doesn’t appear in the list, make sure you have it installed from Step 1 and try again.

Step 5: Enjoy Google Maps as Your Default Navigation App

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set Google Maps as your default navigation app on your iPhone. From now on, whenever you click on an address or use Siri for directions, it will automatically open Google Maps instead of Apple Maps.
