As an example, I will use default browsers for opening links, but the process is same for all files.

So in this tutorial, I am going to tell you how to clear default app in order to choose another app for a specific file. It is easy to choose a default app, but removing one is not that straightforward. For example, you choose Android’s default browser as a browser of choice for opening links, but then you realize Google Chrome is better and want to switch to it. If a default has already been set, we need to go and change it for that specific app or data type. Solution 2: go in the settings and change it
That is it! You are done and now every time you will open a link it will be opened in Android’s Default Browser. If you would like to use Android’s default browser to open all the links you can just tap on it and choose “Always”. As no browser have been selected yet, this means when you will open a Link, you will be asked which browser you will like to use in order to open that specific Link. Let’s start from the beginning, let’s say you have two browsers to open links, Android’s default Browser and Google Chrome. It is better to just choose a program which seem most reliable to you and choose the option “Always” which will always open that type of file in that app without asking again and again. However, it can be quite a pain to always go through the pop up menu before opening such file.
This can be quite convenient if you would like to open the file in different programs from time to time according the requirement of the file. It is quite flexible if you choose “Just once” for a file as you will be asked to choose the app again next time when you open that type of file. There you can choose the app of your choice and tap “Always” or “Just once”. The process is easy, you can just open a file and if there is no default app set and there is more than one program that can open it, a pop menu will open asking you which app you would like to use in order to open that file.
It’s possible to pick a default app if none was set
