Set the Default Mail App to a different Mail App

In this video, we will look at how we can change our default mail app on the iPad. When you tap on a link, it opens up the mail app by default. Well, maybe you use Gmail. What you would like to do is you would like to have the iPad open up Gmail, as opposed to mail. What we have to do then is make Gmail our default mail app.

Let’s see how we do this on the iPad. Let’s go to my iPad. As I mentioned in the introduction, When you tap on a link by default, an email link by default, what’s going to happen, is the iPad will open up the mail app. You may use another mail app on the iPad, but by default, when you tap on a link, it’s going to open up in the mail app as an example.

Well, you’re going to see, I have Gmail downloaded. Let’s say this is how I primarily deal with my mail. Do the Gmail app. But when I tap on an email link, what it’s going to do is open up in the mail app by default, I’d rather have it open up in Gmail, or you can now do that with iPad us 14. We can set our default mail app.

So in my case, I want to change my default mail app from Apple’s mail app to g-mail, or maybe I use spark, and I want to change it to spark another email app. So how do we do that? Well, the first thing you’ll need to do is you’ll need to download the app that you want to use. So if you’re going to use spark, you download spark.

If you want to use Gmail, you download Gmail. You first have to download the app that you want to use for your email. Then what you do is you go to that app’s settings. So let’s say I wanted to change it to g-mail. So I need to go to Gmail’s settings to do that. We go down to the settings app here. And then, on the left side, you swipe up and go all the way down towards the bottom, where you have your settings for your different apps that you’ve downloaded.

You’re going to see; I have Gmail here. Now. All I need to do is tap on Gmail, and we have an option for the default mail app. Again, it is said to the iPads mail, but now what I can do when I tap on this has changed it to g-mail. If I want to use spark, I can also set it to spark. So that’s how you can change the default mail app on the iPad.

You first have to download the app. You want you like Gmail, and then you go to that app setting in the settings app, you’ll see an option for the default mail app. Tap on that, and then select the app you want to use as your default mail app.

So that’s how you set the app. You want to use it for email by default on the iPad.
