Apple fixes bug that reset default browser and mail client after reboot in iOS

Apple has released a new version of iOS 14 that reverts the default browser and default mail client settings to Safari and Mail after a reset. The bug was revealed last week after the release of iOS 14.

The new version is iOS 14.0.1 and weighs around 150MB, depending on the device. The bug was revealed last week after users set the default browser and default mail client in iOS 14 and found that iOS had restored them after a reboot.

Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser can be set as the default browser, while Microsoft Outlook and Google Gmail can be set as the default mail client. Being able to set a browser or mail client of your choice as the default is a new feature of iOS 14, which came out last week.

The update fixes a number of other bugs, including one that caused the camera app to often not work on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, a bug that prevented phones from connecting to Wi-Fi networks and one that prevented sending emails. There is also an update for iPadOS with the same bug fixes.
