To remove Zoom as the default app for opening "geo" (location/map) links on your Android device, follow these steps:

 

Method 1: Clear Defaults in Zoom App Settings

  1. Open your Android Settings.
  2. Go to Apps (or Apps & Notifications > See all apps).
  3. Find and tap on Zoom.
  4. Select Open by default (or Set as default).
  5. Tap Clear defaults (if available).
    (If the option is grayed out, Zoom isn’t currently set as the default for anything.)

Method 2: Change Default App for "geo" Links

  1. Tap a geo link (e.g., a Google Maps link in a message or browser).
    (If Zoom opens, proceed.)
  2. When Zoom opens, press and hold the app icon in the app switcher (if available) or recent apps menu and select App info.
  3. Go to Open by default > Clear defaults.
  4. Try opening the geo link again—this time, Android should ask which app to use (e.g., Google Maps, Waze, etc.).
  5. Select your preferred app and tap Always (if you want to set a new default) or Just once (to choose each time).
