Whenever I open a PDF it always defaults to Adobe. I want to open it with preview. I know I can secondary click and select open with “Preview”. Is there a way to make Preview the default app for opening PDFs.

Hi Gary, I remember Apple saying last year they would enable a way to delete text messages across all Apple devices like iPad, iMac, etc but I don’t remember if it was ever fully baked? Is it available yet and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks,
