Though Apple Mail has vastly improved with the addition of helpful features like flagging emails with different colors and showing the most recent message on top a thread, it’s still nowhere near as efficient as third-party offerings like Outlook. Whether it’s the confusing interface or the lack of a smart tool to manage inbox, the email app has a lot of ground to cover to be on par with rivals. But bother not, those days of suffering are over as you can finally set Outlook as default mail in iOS 14 on your iPhone or iPad.
It’s no secret that Apple wants to have absolute control over the ecosystem, which leaves very little room for personalization. While expecting full-fledged liberty for customization in the near future would be nothing less than wishful thought, the tech giant has slowly but steadily begun to loosen up the so-called walled garden.
- Now, scroll down and choose Outlook.
So, that’s the way you can set Outlook as the default mail app on your iDevice. As someone who heavily relies on emails for formal communication, I’m really glad for this long-awaited change.
