Changing your iPhone to use Google Maps as the default map app can be done by following these steps: First, install Google Maps from the App Store. Unfortunately, iOS does not allow changing default apps directly. However, you can use Google Maps with specific actions by sharing locations. For example, when you tap a location link, select 'Copy' and then open Google Maps, where it will prompt you to paste the location. For GPS and navigation, open Google Maps directly. This is the closest workaround available.
