If Safari is not installed on your iPhone, you may need to reinstall it. Well, you cannot reinstall Safari on your iPhone because the application is already present on your iPhone or iPad. Moreover, you cannot update Safari from the App Store because Safari is automatically updated when there is an iOS update.
This tells you not to worry if you can’t find Safari on your iOS device. The application is on your iPhone and all settings and data are intact, including navigation and connection information. Maybe Safari doesn’t appear because you accidentally deleted it from your home screen, moved it to a different folder, or turned the program off at some point.
Fortunately, you can easily add Safari to your home screen and open it as before. Find out how to restore the Safari icon on your iPhone with iOS 14.

To do this, drag the cursor across the screen when you are on the Home screen. At the top of the search box, type Safari. You can now see the name of a specific application, if Safari is in a specific folder. Normally, you can move Safari from this folder to the Home screen or to another folder in the application.

If you do not see Safari listed in the Utilities group, search for the application in the Application Library.
