There\u2019s a whole new section in the settings menu dedicated to managing default apps. This includes defaults you could already reassign, like your browser or email app. Other options include call filtering, passwords, and keyboards. Crucially, this same list of options appears for users in the US who have downloaded the beta. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But the big stuff, like support for alternative app stores and browser engines, has mostly been confined to the EU. A side effect is that a European iPhone was starting to look quite a bit different from one in the US, which was weird. But by spreading some of these new options across borders, Apple will maintain better consistency in its product.
