Galaxy S8 - How to stop automatically choosing default apps

[GamerCore]

If you're coming from a non-Galaxy device, you may have noticed how the Galaxy S8 automatically sets your default apps the first time you choose them from the Android intents list.

When opening a link or shortcut on other Android devices, you're usually given the option to use an app either "Just this once" or "Always." Here's how you can enable this on the Galaxy S8:

1. Open the Settings app
2. Tap on Apps
3. Tap on the 3-dot menu
4. Select Default apps

From there, tap Default app selection and change it to Ask before setting default.

If you already set a bunch of apps to open automatically and want to clear them, simply go back into Settings > Apps > 3-dot menu > Reset app preferences > Reset to clear all your defaults.

I don't guess there is a way to so this on the S7?

The steps should be nearly identical on the Galaxy S7.
