What is what to do when safari is not showing on cell?

Here's information about troubleshooting when Safari is not showing on your cell phone:

It can be frustrating when Safari, your go-to web browser, disappears from your phone. Here's a breakdown of common causes and solutions:

• Check Your Home Screens and App Library: Safari might have been accidentally moved to a different home screen page or, more likely, relegated to the App%20Library. Swipe left past your last home screen to access the App Library. Use the search bar at the top to find Safari. If you find it there, you can drag it back to your desired home screen.

• Look in Folders: It's easy to inadvertently drag apps into folders. Scour all your folders on every home screen page to see if Safari is hiding inside.

• Restriction Settings (Screen Time): On iPhones, Screen%20Time allows you to restrict certain apps. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps. Make sure Safari is toggled on.

• Spotlight Search: Use Spotlight%20Search to quickly locate Safari. Swipe down from the middle of any home screen to bring up the search bar and type "Safari." If it appears in the search results, it will show you its location on your device (e.g., "in Utilities folder").

• Reset Home Screen Layout: This is a drastic measure, but it will restore all apps to their default locations. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. Be warned: This will undo any custom folder structures and app placements you've made.

• Software Update: Occasionally, software glitches can cause apps to disappear. Make sure your phone's operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

• Restart Your Phone: A simple restart can often resolve minor software issues.

• Reinstall (If Deleted): While Safari cannot be deleted from iPhones, it can be removed from the home screen. If you suspect it was somehow removed entirely, go to the App%20Store, search for "Safari," and if an "Open" or "Download" icon appears, proceed accordingly.

If none of these steps work, there may be a more serious underlying issue with your device's software, and you might consider contacting Apple Support.
