Scroll down until you see the term ‘Search Engine.’ Tap on it and a list of available search engine options will appear, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. Choose your preferred search engine by tapping on it.

Step 4: Confirm the Change

Close the settings menu. Your new search engine should now be set and ready to use.
