What apps can be fully replaced by third party apps?

[jjk454ss]

im curious how third party replacements are working for things like Safari, Mail, Maps, etc? Can you completely get rid of them(I know they are not deleted) and still use Siri, and open links, etc into the replacement app? So say I tell Siri to give me directions to home, Siri will open Waze? Or I click an email in Safari and it opens Spark? Or tell Siri to remind me to pickup mild and Siri adds it to Clear?

Do these type of things work smoothly now? Will it eventually once developers build this into there apps? I'm curious how well it's working or going to work.

You cannot set default replacements

None.

You can't set defaults. Links, emails, etc will bring up prompts saying "X app isn't installed. Restore it by going to the App Store" or something like that. You can't set other apps to do stuff the default ones did.

I don't think this is possible in foreseeable future. But with third party integration dev can achieve this goal to an extent.

Thank you. I guess I just assumed since you could "remove" an app that you could replace it as default actions as well. This kind of stinks
