Change the Search Engine You Use in Safari
By default, you’ll be searching the web with the help of Google. It’s not surprising; Google is the most popular search engine in the world.
However, it’s also not everyone’s favorite search engine. If you prefer to use a different search engine on your iPhone, you can change it by doing the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on Safari.
- Go to Search Engine.
- Choose the search engine you want to use.
Note that with iOS 17, you can also set a different default search engine when using Private Browsing mode, such as the more privacy-focused DuckDuckGo.
