But don’t worry, those bitter days are over as you can finally set Outlook as the default mail in iOS 14 on your iPhone or iPad.

While it will be nothing less than wishful thinking to expect full-fledged freedom for customization in the near future, the tech giant has slowly but steadily started to loosen up the walled garden.
Things like great home screen widgets, the App Library, allowing third-party browsers to run by default, and allowing Siri to play nicely with competing music streaming services like Spotify give enough indication that Apple is finally starting to think on the other side. spectrum.

Thus, you can set Outlook as the default mail app on your iDevice. As someone who relies heavily on email for formal communication, I’m really happy with this long-awaited change.
Talking about iOS 14, I recommend checking out equally interesting features like headphone volume customization, back tapping, and the ability to limit third-party access to the Photos app.
