I use the Gmail android app, I am not sure whether the IOS app is the same.

Once you've opened Gmail, click on the Profile picture, initial, or it may be just small empty circle, to the right of the email search box.

You will then see a list of all the email accounts you've added to Gmail. Presumably at the moment your Gmail address will be at the top above the line. If you want to change that, just tap on the address you want to be the default.

That's it!

Remember that default email address will also be the default address used when you compose a new email in Gmail.

Also, I am not sure that default will then be applied to every device that you have the Gmail app installed, I suspect not.

I hope that helps.
