As promised on Friday, iOS 14 users can now set Gmail as the default mail app on iPhones and iPads. This follows a handful of updates (http://9to5google.com/2020/09/18/google-search-ios-14-widget/) from Google to support the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system.
Version 6.0.200825 of Gmail for iOS is rolling out now via the App Store (http://apps.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-by-google/id422689480). There is an in-app prompt to set the app as the default iOS mail client, or users can manually visit Settings > Gmail.
If you have deleted the iOS Mail app, Gmail (or any other third-party app installed) will become the default without any further user action. Google’s app joins an update (http://9to5mac.com/2020/09/16/you-can-now-make-microsoft-outlook-and-edge-your-default-email-and-web-browser-on-ios/) to Microsoft Outlook last week.
Users can also set Chrome as the defacto browser, but the current behavior sees defaults cleared upon device reset (http://9to5mac.com/2020/09/17/ios-14-default-app-settings/). It’s not clear if this is the intended process from Apple or whether this is just a bug that will be addressed in a future update.
In other Google apps, the standalone Assistant client was updated (http://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-assistant/id1220976145) to address an iOS 14 bug where pressing the microphone would not accept voice input. There was also a weekend refresh (http://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-photos/id962194608) to Google Photos that fixed crashes in the gallery.
