Go step by step and test.


1. Use the App Library to find your apps

     From your Home Screen, swipe left until you see the App Library. 

     Your apps are automatically sorted into categories.

2. Make sure that Safari is not restricted.

    Settings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy  Restrictions

    Enter Passcode if you have set it up

    Allowed apps > Safari

    Turn it on.
