Currently, when she clicks a mailto link on a website in Chrome nothing happens.

I have been testing this with Chrome and can not find any option in Chrome other than Gmail.

The default email application is set to Outlook and the mailto protocol is set to Outlook on the PC and the mailto links work fine in IE.

I have tried all the suggestions I have found on the web to no avail.

Still not sure why the Chrome setting Content Handlers doesnt allow you to choose Outlook or any other option than Google Mail.

Type URL Protocol as the name of the new String Value Exit the Registry Editor.

Chrome sends Emails always with GMail even though I have configured Windows.

If youre a Chrome user, you can change it for Google apps like YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps.

But for links you want to open from other apps like Mail, Facebook, or Yelp, youre stuck, right Wrong Chrome users rejoice, there is a way to open links in Chrome on iPhone and iPad and heres how.

Use the Shortcuts app First and most obvious, make sure you have Chrome (free) installed on your iPhone or iPad.

If youre unfamiliar with the Shortcuts app, this handy tool can help you do all sorts of things quickly and easily.

If you already have the Shortcuts app, then youre one step ahead.

Get the shortcut Fortunately, you dont have to go through the process of creating a shortcut because there is an Open in Chrome shortcut already, in the apps Gallery.

Open the Shortcuts app.

Tap Gallery. 3) Type Chrome into the search box and tap Open in Chrome from the results or navigate directly to the shortcut.

Tap Get Shortcut.

There are two different ways you can use the shortcut very easily and well go over them both.

Then, pick the one that works best for you or use both depending on the app youre using.

Using the shortcut with your Clipboard The first way to use the shortcut is by combining it with your device clipboard and a Home screen icon you can add.

This way, you dont have to open the Shortcuts app to use it.

Open Shortcuts and tap the three-dot icon on the top right of the shortcut in your Library.

Tap the settings icon on the top right.

Select Add to Home Screen.

Follow the prompts to add the shortcut.

Now, when you copy a link to your clipboard, just tap the shortcut on your Home screen and the link will open in Chrome.

Here, I copied a link from Facebook, tapped the shortcut on my Home screen, and the link opened in Chrome.

You will see it go through the process of opening by moving through the Shortcuts app.

But, no action is required on your part and it only takes a few seconds.

Adding the shortcut and including it on your Home screen is the biggest part.

Using the shortcut with your Sharing menu The second way to use the shortcut is by adding Shortcuts to your sharing menu.

This lets you open a link directly in Chrome without having to copy it to your clipboard.

Open an app with the link you want to open in Chrome.

In this example well use Safari.

Tap the Sharing icon from the bottom.

Scroll to the right and tap More.

Enable Shortcuts in the list.

Optionally, you can move it to a different spot in the list if you like.

Now, tap Shortcuts in that sharing menu.

When Shortcuts opens, tap Open in Chrome.

This may seem like a lot to go through, but its only a one-time set up.

Once Shortcuts is in your Sharing menu, you can use it any time (assuming the app lists it).

Wrapping it up If you prefer Chrome over Safari, theres no reason you shouldnt be able to use it on your iPhone or iPad.

And these two methods using a shortcut let you open links in Chrome whenever you please.
