When logging in and using your Gather App we recommend using Google Chrome as your default internet browser. If you don't already have Chrome installed on your desktop or mobile device you can follow the quick steps in this article
 to do so. 

Next, we will walk you through on how to set your default browser on the different types of platforms.


On your Computer

Mac

  1. In the top right corner of the desktop click on the Apple icon on the menu bar.

2. From here go to "System Preferences..." > "General".

3. In the "General" window you will see the "Default web browser" dropdown. Click on that drop down and select Google Chrome from the list.

4. That's it! 


Windows 10

  1. On the bottom left of your desktop, click on your "Start" menu > "Settings".

  2. From here go to your default apps, and you will click on the options "System" or "Apps" > Default apps. 

  3. Scroll down to "Web browser" and select your current browser.

  4. Under the "Choose an app" option select "Google Chrome".

  5. You're all set!


Windows 8 and below

  1. On the bottom left of your desktop, click on your "Start" menu > "Control Panel".

  2. From here go to your "Programs" > "Default Programs" > "Set your default programs". 

  3. On the left hand side select "Google Chrome" and then select "Set this program as default" and click "OK".

  4. Great job! You're good to go. 


On your mobile device 

iPhone and iPad

There isn't an option at this time to set Chrome as your default browser on an iOS device. Make sure you have the Google Chrome app installed on your iPhone or iPad, and then you can easily select it as your browser of choice when logging into your account. 


Android

  1. On your Android phone go to your "Settings". 

  2. From there, click on "Apps and notifications".

  3. On the bottom click on "Advanced" > "Default apps" > "Browser app". Lastly select "Chrome".

  4. All done!
