Safari cannot be deleted from the iPhone, it is an integral part of iOS. On the iPhone 6, go to Settings>General>Reset, and then Reset Home Screen Layout. If that does not bring back the Safari icon, then you will need to restore your iPhone to factory. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support Make sure you have created a current backup of the phone before restoring. After you have restored to factory, make sure that Safari is back on the device and you can restore to your backup.
