I hope it also fixes the problem that in some scenarios email links still open up in Apple Mail instead of the selected email app (not referring to the reboot problem).

I have Outlook on my iPhone the only way I could prevent the Apple mail app from showing up is deleting it. However, if you like the Apple Mail app on your watch, you need to keep it installed on your phone.

Edit:

It does fix the reboot issue. However, the other strange issue still persists. When I click on an email via the Contacts application or a third party application it opens up Outlook (set as default). However, if you select an email on a webpage in Safari or in a message in iMessage, it opens up Apple Mail (if it is still installed).

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Does it fix the issue of springboard crashing? I’ve had my iPad crash (black screen with progress spinner) and return to the lock screen, I think three times since upgrading to iOS 14?

I had the problem when I upgraded to the GM version of iPad OS 14. Never had that issues in the betas. I haven't seen it yet after several reboots, but hoping they fixed that.
