The ability to set a different default app for various functions—such as browsing the Web or checking email—isn’t new in Android Marshmallow. But prior to Marshmallow, you had to dig through Settings > Apps, clear your default app setting, then go back to the homescreen and re-select a new default. Marshmallow adds a new one-stop shop that makes it easier than ever to change your default app of choice at any time. Here’s where to find it, and what it can do.
Go to the Settings app, then tap Apps. Next, tap the Gear icon in the upper right corner, then tap Default Apps.
