It isn’t possible to delete the Safari app or icon from your phone. You also might need to update your software. If you removed it from the Home Screen, go to the App Library, and search for “Safari”. Then drag the icon to the Home Screen.

It's possible to accidentally move or remove an app. Almost too easy. Safari itself doesn't get deleted though. Just swipe left (at least twice) until the App Library shows up. It might not show up there, but you can enter Safari in a search at the top. Once it comes up, you can just drag the icon to wherever you want it to be.


Most apps don't show up in App Library once they're removed, but built-in apps that can't be deleted will still be there and don't need to be reloaded per se.

It's possible. I just did it myself. It doesn't really remove the app since it's not actually deleted and won't free up storage like removing other apps, but the icon can definitely be wiped. Unlike non-built-in apps, it won't need to be recovered from the App Store.
