iOS 14 would be more open
The operating system iOS has always been identified by the impossibility of changing certain aspects of the system. Not as something negative, far from it, since thanks to this it has been crowned as one of the safest operating systems out there.
One of those aspects that cannot be modified are the default apps. Apple includes in our devices iOS apps like Safari, Apple Music or Mail. This does not prevent us from installing alternatives, but if we perform any action related to this type of apps, they will be performed with the default apps in iOS which are those ofApple
This opening of default apps to third parties could come with iOS 14
But, apparently knowing thanks to some rumors , Apple could be considering changing this. And it is that they would be considering the option of allowing to change the default apps of the operating system iOS.
This would mean that, if we use alternatives such as Spotify, Gmail or Chrome we could choose these third-party apps as default apps. Therefore, every time we perform actions related to these types of apps, the apps chosen by us and not the native ones of the system would be opened.

This opening of apps to third parties would not be limited to iOS for iPhone and would affect all operating systems based on iOS.In other words, it would also be possible on iPadOS and we could even see it on Apple Watch and Apple TVwhen using operating systems based on iOS
This opening to third parties would not be limited to devices iOS Rumors indicate the opening of HomePod to music streaming services from third parties. With this we could ask the devices to play lists and music from the service we use. There is also the possibility of a greater opening of Siri
At the moment, these are just rumors. And while they come from a source with connections and a high hit rate, we won't know if it's true until the next version of iOS arrives. What do you think? Are you for or against a greater opening of iOS?
