Safari  icon missing?

Safari is maintained as a part of iOS.


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.

We had lost the Contacts Icon on my wife's iPhone. Contacts still worked inside the telephone app so I knew the data was not lost. Dominic23's #1 fix worked. Contacts was in the app list. I moved it onto her front page.


We think the way to lose the Contacts icon is try to put it into the tray at the bottom of the screen when there are already four icons in the tray. I tried and lost the Contacts Icon again, however, of course, we now knew how to recover it.
