You may not have removed Safari.


Safari  icon missing?

Safari is maintained as a part of iOS. There is no self standing version of Safari.


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.

    Settings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy  Restrictions

    Enter Passcode if you have set it up

    Allowed apps > Safari

    Turn it on.
