  3. Then, tap on the 'Set as Default Browser' option from the next screen. It's that simple.
  1. If you skipped this step while setting up Arc Search, it's fine. Open the 'Settings' app on your iPhone.
  2. In the Settings menu, scroll down until you find Arc Search in your list of apps. The apps are listed in alphabetical order after system apps, so Arc Search should be easy to locate. You can also use the search bar to find it.
  3. Tap on the 'Default Browser App' option to change your default browser setting.
  1. A list of browsers installed on your iPhone will appear with your current default browser selected.
  2. Select 'Arc Search' from this list to set it as your default browser.
