Change Xiaomi default browser from smartphone settings

The first solution that I intend to propose is to make the change directly from the settings of your Xiaomi smartphone.

Therefore, access the device Settings by pressing on the gear symbol on the Home Screen , then scroll the screen that opens until you find the App item and press on it.

Then, touch the Manage app option , then, on the next screen, press the symbol of the three vertical dots located at the top right and select the Default applications item to access the list of categories for which you can define an app by default.

At this point, all you have to do is press on the word Browser and, in the next step, select one of the apps there, already installed on the smartphone, in order to position the colored arrow in correspondence with it.

Once this is done, press the arrow located at the top left to return to the previous screen and make sure that under the Browser item there is the app selected just now. From this moment on, navigation will take place automatically with the new browser selected.

If you are still undecided on which browser for Android to choose, I refer you to my tutorial dedicated to the subject.

Change Xiaomi default browser from browser

If you have not been able to identify the function described in the previous chapter from the settings of your Xiaomi smartphone, you can refer to another solution to change the default browser on Xiaomi : this is a shortcut that allows you to easily access the aforementioned preferences directly from browser , through the settings of the app you want to use for Internet browsing.

However, consider that this option is only feasible on certain applications that make this functionality available within their menus: in the next paragraphs I will show you how to proceed by referring to some particularly popular browsers.

If, for example, you are inclined to use the Edge browser , consider that the latter allows you to change the setting in question already at the first start after installation: just tap the Yes option , we will start as soon as it is proposed to you this possibility and you will be sent directly to the Default Apps section shown in the previous chapter , from which you can access the preferences in the Browser section .

How do you say? Are you already using Edge but didn’t notice this opportunity the first time you used it? Don’t worry, you can easily solve the problem by starting the app in question, pressing the symbol of the three horizontal dots located at the bottom of the main screen and pressing the gear symbol placed in the panel that appears from the bottom: in this way, in fact, yes access the browser settings, where you just need to touch the Microsoft Edge option as default and confirm your will by selecting the item Yes, let’s start .

Are you a loyal Firefox user ? Also in this case the solution is particularly simple: once you have started the app in question, press on the symbol of the three vertical dots located at the bottom right, touch the Settings item located at the bottom of the menu that appears at the same time and scroll the next screen towards the below to display the button for the option Set as default browser . At this point, tap on it to move it to the On position and you will be sent directly to the Default Apps section described above.

The Opera browser also allows you to perform this change in a very simple and intuitive way: once started, touch the profile symbol located at the bottom right, then, in the next screen, press the gear located at the top right to access the settings .

Once this is done, locate the item Default Browser and press on it, then confirm the desire to perform this operation by selecting the Next option in the panel that appears from the bottom: also in this case, therefore, the function will send you back to the settings of the smartphone and you can easily change the default app in the Browser section .

I sincerely hope I have been helpful in solving this small task: if this is the case, you will be pleased to know that I have made several articles that can help you make the most of the features of your favorite browser. First, it is extremely important that it is always updated to the latest version, be it Chrome , Edge , Firefox, or any other browsing app .
