MIUI 10 and Redmi : How to change default application

Head over to our new Guides portal where you can get access to a massive list of guides, organized in a Wikipedia like format. This same guide is available at MIUI 11 How to change default application.

While the default apps that come with the phone are okay to use, there are much better applications out there that provide more functionality. Unfortunately, there is no straight way to change default way in Redmi phone. In this guide, we show you a workaround to change default application. Also, do not miss our “Recommended Smartphones” list that contains best smartphones for every budget.

While you can change the default launcher by default from home screen settings in settings application, for other apps, you have to use a work around.

Open Security application.

Click on ‘Manage apps’.

 

Open current default application from the list.

 

Scroll to the bottom, click on [clear defaults].

 

Now, open the application that you want to set as default and when the app prompts, set it as default application.
