Each smartphone has its own built-in web browser. This browser may belong to the phone manufacturer. However, if you want to use your preferred web browser rather than the one installed by the manufacturer, you will need to learn how to switch browsers. This may or may not improve the quality of your Internet experience.

In most cases, Google Chrome is set as the default web browser on an Android smartphone. To search and access the Internet, Apple iPhone owners have their own Safari browser.

Despite the fact that you can download different web browsers on your smartphone to access the internet, the default browser will still focus on your key searches. When you open links shared by family and friends in Gmail or while chatting on social media apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, the default web browser opens.
