Apple Confirms: EU iPhone and iPad Users Can Choose Default Navigation and Translation Apps in Spring 2025
In a recently published document outlining its compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple has confirmed that it will allow iPhone and iPad users in the European Union to choose their default navigation and translation apps starting in spring 2025.
This timeline suggests that the feature will be included in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, which are expected to be released in April.
Previously, Apple had announced that users in the EU would be able to set default navigation and translation apps in a future software update, but a specific date was not given until now. With the iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 update, users will be able to customize their default app choices through a newly added Default Apps section within the Settings app on their devices.
For example, users can choose Google Maps, Waze, or another app as their default navigation application instead of Apple Maps. Similarly, they can select Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, or other apps as their default translation app instead of the built-in Apple Translate app.
Its worth noting that since iOS 18.2 beta, iPhone users in the EU have been able to set default apps for browser, mail, app store, phone, messages, password manager, incoming call filtering, and software keyboard.
Apple's compliance document was published today simultaneously with the announcement from the European Commission that it would assess whether the company's modifications to iPadOS effectively comply with the Digital Markets Act.
