How to change the default app for a Mac

If you would like to change the default app for a specific file type here are the basic steps.

You can change default apps for many different types of files in macOS Monterey. In this example, I use a .ics (photo), but you can do these steps with plenty of different types of files. The steps remain the same in macOS Ventura release.

Right-click on a file that uses the file type you'd like to change the default for.
Click on Get Info in the pop-up.
Click Open With if the section isn't already expanded.
Click the drop-down menu.
Click the app you want to use.
Click Change All...
Click Continue when the Finder asks you if you're sure.
