Safari (sometimes) not on share sheet

Hi,


Oftentimes when I share links from other apps, Safari is missing as an option in the share sheet, whereas its peers (e.g. Brave) or browser-adjacent apps (e.g. Google) remain present.


When I say missing, I mean Safari is missing in:


1. ⁠The list of apps on the second row, including in “more”.

2. ⁠The list of actions housed beneath the app icons (where things like “Markup”, “Print”, “Open in Brave”, “Search on Google” sit).


Very occasionally (for example, when sharing from the Wikipedia app), the “Open in Safari” button appears. Is there a way to make it a permanent fixture whenever a URL is shared?


For context, this happens in both native and third party apps. Eg if I highlight a link in Apple notes or iMessage, I have the option to “Open in Brave” or “Search on Google” but not “Open in Safari”.


Thanks in advance for any and all tips/ help 🙏
