On iOS is there a way to use Edge dogfood with google apps (gmail, news, etc)? It doesn't appear in the selection in "Default Apps" in gmail. Is there a way around that? Is it Google or the Edge team that would have to do to enable it? I see it's an option in Outlook so I assume it's a question of Google not doing the work to enable it, but was hoping there's another way.
Thanks,
Bruce

SolutionHi @Bruce_Lowekamp, I am not an expert in our iOS implementations, but I talked with one of my coworkers who has an iOS device. According to him, there isn't any operating system feature to set a default browser, but individual apps can look for appropriate programs to open specific content. So, in your case, I am guessing that Google would need to change their apps to also look for / display Microsoft apps. Thanks - Elliot

@Elliot Kirk Thanks for checking, that was basically what I expected. I've made a feature request for Edge from inside gmail, hopefully they'll do it.
