You can tell Windows you want to use a different browser, and that choice will typically be respected (when opening links from other apps, etc).
On iOS, you cannot do that for maps. If an app implements a "View this on a map" feature, I don't believe you have any way of changing which app that link opens in.
Sure, you have the freedom to install whatever app you want. And that freedom begins and ends with manually launching the app; third-party links will still open with Apple Maps.
- wodenokoto 10y agoIn Facebook I can open addresses in Google maps.
- antsar 10y agoPresumably because FB went out of their way to implement that. I wonder if they can detect that G Maps is installed, or if that option is always offered. Either way, I can say that many other apps (eg. Yelp) do not have this option.
- Klathmon 10y agoIIRC both Google and Facebook have to work together for that to happen.
