About the browser choice screen in iOS 17

To meet the requirements in the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union, iOS 17.4 introduces a new choice screen that provides EU users an additional way to choose a default web browser from a list of options. The screen is displayed the first time a user in the EU opens Safari on their iPhone.

To be considered for inclusion in the list of browser options, an app needs to meet the following criteria:

• Have the Default Browser Entitlement
• Have been downloaded by at least 5,000 users across all the EU App Store storefronts on iPhone in the prior calendar year
• If a developer has multiple browser apps, only the most downloaded app will be eligible
• Be available on the App Store on iPhone in the EU

Up to 11 of the most downloaded browsers on iOS in that country in the prior year that meet the above criteria will be selected for the browser choice screen in addition to Safari. Apple will update the list of browsers eligible to be shown on the choice screen once per calendar year.

The current list of browsers shown on the browser choice screen per country are below. The lists below are in alphabetical order, on a user’s device browsers will be shown in a randomized order per user. Click on a country below to jump to it.
