How to Get Safari Back on iPhone (iOS 17)

What to know.

• Typically, if Safari has disappeared, it most likely was just removed from the Home Screen.
• Some users are reporting that there is a glitch that appears to delete the Safari app from your iPhone altogether.
• To get it back, you must re-download the Safari app from the App Store.

Has your Safari app suddenly vanished into thin air? The good news is that you don't have the option to delete the native Safari app on your iPhone, so it has likely just been accidentally removed from your Home Screen. For this situation, we'll show you how to find the hidden app and move it back to your Home Screen. In rare cases, a software glitch can delete the app from your iPhone, so it will need to be re-installed. For either situation, let's cover how to get Safari back on your Home Screen.

For most people, the missing Safari app has not been deleted, just removed from the Home Screen.

Adding the Safari app to your dock is optional, but it does make it more convenient to access Safari. Your dock displays up to four apps at any given time, and will appear at the bottom of each Home Screen. 

If you were not able to find Safari using the solutions above, the app has likely been removed from your iPhone. Below, we'll show you how to re-download Safari from the App Store. If that fails, you may need to reset your Home Screen layout to get Safari back on your device.

Reset Your Home Screen to Re-install Safari

If you were not able to find or re-install Safari using the steps above, this method will reset your iPhone’s Home Screen back to the factory version, which is how the Home Screen looks when setting your device up as new. Since Safari is one of the apps featured on the default Home Screen, this method will allow you to add Safari to your Home Screen.

Hopefully, the solutions above worked, and you found adding Safari to your Home Screen to be a breeze! However, if the above solutions haven't worked, there might be a deeper issue with your device. In this case, I recommend contacting Apple Support or visiting the nearest Apple store for further assistance. If you're interested, I also recommend learning how to find your lost iPhone , even if the battery has died. 

• How do I get the Safari icon back on my iPhone?  If your Safari app was accidentally erased, you can get the app icon back on your iPhone by redownloading the Safari app from the app store. If your Safari app was simply removed from the Home Screen but not your device, you can just add the Safari icon back to your Home Screen by using the App Library.
• Why did my Safari app disappear on my iPhone?   At the moment, it is unclear why this glitch is happening to some iPhone users. However, for the most part, if your Safari icon has disappeared, you can either redownload the app from the App Store or add it to your Home Screen again via the App Library.
• Why can't I get Safari on my iPhone?  Sometimes people are unable to download apps and run into many other glitches and issues if their iOS is old or out of date. It's important for security reasons and for the overall smooth running of your device to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Check to see if your iPhone needs to be updated, and if so, check out this article on how to do it .

To much scams…please READ!

So whenever I use this app/ Safari it get these trackers and scammers to get my location and this is making me nervous. I installed ad blocker I think it’s called and I blocked some trackers which made me feel better. Every time you search something you usually get a scam or tracker. I do not like when people track me down. I rarely use this app because of the scams and risks. I think it is an OK app in general because it’s the people making these small BAD websites. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it could use work but it is pretty much like google. I use google way more because I feel like it is much safer than safari. I could be wrong… Safari could use some work with all these BAD websites. Can you block these bad websites? I would love to block these websites cause they are scary. Also watch out for nine anime/ 9anime websites… I searched up 9anime on safari and clicked a link. It looked safe but then these inappropriate pop ups kept coming. I immediately got off. I checked my ‘ How much trackers we have prevented’ or whatever it’s called it said that it had prevented 14 trackers from getting my IP address. This was good and bad news. I’m glad that safari and google can prevent these trackers but it is bad because this is dangerous. BE CAREFUL ON SAFARI!!!

Your Underrated Prince, Safari

In my humble opinion, Safari is the underrated king among multiple web browsers on the market. I was a PC devotee from ‘95 to ‘16, since then, it’s been all Tim Cook 🍎 all the time. My only regret is not purchasing a smartphone back in ‘07 from Steve Jobs. Presently, I own an iPhone 6s Plus in rose gold (2016), iPad Mini (2016), iPad Pro (2019) & MacBook (2018) in rose gold with matching Beats By Dre headphones. All four are set up with Safari, not Chrome, TOR, Brave, Edge, or DDGo. I love the ability to quickly save favorites, add to reading list & share content to other platforms. My favorites are alphabetized for quick reference & the reading list keeps all articles & pages in chronological order for quick recall. Also, I learned Safari quickly because it’s extremely user friendly. The browser helped my navigation of Apple when switching from PC. I’ll admit, learning MacBook isn’t easy, but, Safari keeps things familiar for me on the desktop. When lost, just go back to Safari & start over. It’s surprising no one in tech media mentions Safari more often as a go to source for navigating the internet. Chrome is the reigning king of, Land Of Browsers, without an heir apparent. I nominate Safari as the prince with future king potential. Citizens of Land Of Browsers don’t like their chrome-plated dirty laundry aired, sold or tracked.

This new layout is better IMO, but there are a few other problems that kinda bug me

Unpopular opinion, but this new layout is better. I don’t even remember the old layout since I’m not even a long-time iOS user (this is my first iPhone). I looked up the old layout or the “cascade” layout and it looks more painful to me than the new one. By the looks of it, it’s definitely easier to miss a tab you’re looking for in the older version, and then you will have to spend like 10 more minutes scrolling to find the tab you’re looking for. Sure, it may be “faster”, but it’s definitely harder to find the certain tab you’re looking for if most of the tabs are only viewable by a little area at the top. This app is mostly fine except for a few problems I get from time to time. Today I’m having a problem where I was trying to look at some Google images and then I tried to look at more but it was just stuck on loading. It wouldn’t even finish loading. This happened only on like 2 searches thankfully though. I’d probably give it a 95% since it has some minor lags and problems.

Lost your Safari app on your iPhone 13? Don’t worry; getting it back is easy! Just follow these quick steps. First, check if the app is merely hidden or if the restrictions are turned on. If not, you can easily reinstall it from the App Store. And voila, you’ll have your trusted web browser back at your fingertips.

After completing the steps, the Safari app will reappear on your iPhone 13’s home screen or App Library, ready to use just like before.

Introduction

Have you ever found yourself in a pickle because the Safari app disappeared from your iPhone 13? You’re not alone. It’s a common issue that can happen for various reasons, such as accidentally deleting the app, restrictions being enabled, or the app being hidden in a folder somewhere. Safari is an essential part of the iPhone experience, allowing users to browse the web, save bookmarks, and sync across Apple devices.

Without Safari, completing simple tasks like checking emails or scrolling through your favorite websites can become quite a hassle. This article is specifically crafted for iPhone 13 users who have found themselves in this perplexing situation and need a simple, step-by-step guide to get Safari back. Whether you’re a tech newbie or just need a quick refresher, this guide will help you restore your access to the internet in no time.

Step by Step Tutorial to Get Safari Back on iPhone 13

Getting Safari back on your iPhone 13 is a straightforward process that will have you browsing in no time.

Step 1: Check Restrictions

First, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.

If Content & Privacy Restrictions are turned on, there’s a chance they may be blocking the Safari app. Simply enter your Screen Time passcode, then go to Allowed Apps and ensure that Safari is toggled on. If it was off, turning it on should bring Safari back to your home screen.

Step 2: Search for Safari

Swipe down on the home screen and use the Search feature to look for Safari.

Sometimes, Safari might not be deleted but just hidden in a folder or on another page. The Search feature will help you locate it quickly. If it appears in the search results, you can open it from there, and it will tell you which folder it’s in so you can move it back to your home screen later.

Step 3: Reinstall from App Store

If steps 1 and 2 don’t work, open the App Store, search for Safari, and download it again.

If Safari was indeed deleted, it could easily be reinstalled from the App Store. Just search for it, and as it’s an Apple app, it should be the first result. Tap the download icon, and it will reinstall on your device. Once reinstalled, Safari will be back on your home screen or App Library.

Additional Information

When Safari disappears from your iPhone 13, it can feel like you’re cut off from the world wide web. But fear not! The solutions provided here are reliable and tested. Plus, once you get Safari back, you can take preventative steps to avoid future disappearances. For instance, you can rearrange your apps to keep Safari on the main home screen or the dock for easy access.

Another tip is to regularly backup your iPhone 13 either through iCloud or your computer. That way, if you ever need to restore your device, you won’t lose important data like your Safari bookmarks. Remember that while Safari might be the default browser for iPhone 13, other browser apps can be used in case Safari isn’t available for some reason.

• Check Restrictions to ensure Safari isn’t being blocked.
• Use the Search feature to find Safari in case it’s hidden.
• Reinstall Safari from the App Store if necessary.

Tapping the Grid Icon : While in jiggle mode, look for the grid icon located at the bottom of the screen. This icon represents the home screen layout settings and serves as the entry point for customizing the app arrangement.

Selecting Reset Home Screen Layout : Tap the grid icon to access the home screen customization options. From the menu that appears, select the "Reset Home Screen Layout" option. A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you want to reset the home screen layout.

Confirming the Reset : Upon receiving the confirmation prompt, tap "Reset" to proceed with resetting the home screen layout. This action will revert the app icons to their default arrangement, potentially revealing the Safari app if it was previously hidden or relocated.

This method offers a straightforward approach to addressing the absence of Safari, allowing you to restore the app's visibility and accessibility without the need for complex troubleshooting.

Safari Disappeared from iPhone Home Screen

When Safari Icon disappears from the Home screen on iPhone, most users start thinking about the possibility of the Safari App being accidentally deleted by them or by someone with access to their device.

However, this is never the case as Apple prevents users from deleting essential Apps and Safari happens to be one of the most essential native Apps that cannot be deleted from an Apple device.

In most cases, the problem of Missing Safari Icon ends up being due to the Safari App being accidentally moved to one of the Home Screens or being hidden in a Folder on the App Library screen.

A less common reason for Safari Icon missing or disappearing from the Home screen on iPhone or iPad is due to the Safari App being restricted by Screen Time Settings.

1. Check All Home Screens & Folders

As mentioned above, the most common reason for Safari Icon missing on iPhone or iPad is due to the Safari App being accidentally moved to another Home Screen or a Folder.

Hence, the first step would be to carefully go through all the Home screens on your device and look for Safari App. Also, go through all Folders and make sure that Safari Icon is not hiding in a Folder on your device.

2. Search For Safari Browser On iPhone

Note: Even if Safari App is hidden in a Folder, you will see the name of the Folder in which the Safari App Icon is hidden on your device.

3. Look For Safari in App Library

If you had accidentally removed Safari from the Home screen, it should be available in the App Library on your iPhone.

1. Swipe Left on the Home screen of your iPhone, until you reach the App Library screen.

2. On App Library screen, type Safari in the Search bar and you should find Safari appearing in the Search results.

3. Once Safari appears in the search results, tap and hold on Safari Icon and select Add to Home Screen option.

This should immediately bring the Safari Icon back on the Home Screen of your device.

3. This will unhide the Screen containing Safari Icon and you will find Safari back on the Home screen of your iPhone.

How To Update Safari On Your Mac: A Step-By-Step Guide

It's no secret that Safari is the go-to browser for many Mac users . Sure, other browsers like Google Chrome have their advantages , especially if you're deep into Google's ecosystem, but using third-party browsers other than Safari on your Mac has downsides. Safari is optimized for macOS and integrates seamlessly with your other Apple devices like your iPhone and iPad by using Handoff.

If you've been a part of the Apple ecosystem for a while now, you're probably aware of Handoff, a very convenient Apple feature that allows you to begin a task on one of your devices, and pick up where you left off on another device.

Safari is no exception — Handoff allows you to start reading or watching something on your iPhone or iPad, and pick up where you left off on your Mac. This not only saves you the time of looking for a webpage but also makes jumping from one task to another extremely simple. Like any application, keeping Safari up to date is extremely important. Not only do new Safari updates come with newer features, but Apple also frequently rolls out updates to address security threats.

Now that you know it is a good idea to install Safari updates whenever they're rolled out, the real question is: How do you update Safari? Strangely enough, if your Apple device is updated to macOS Ventura or later , the only way to update Safari is to update your Mac itself.

How to update macOS

While you can't update Safari without updating macOS, you can check which version of Safari you're currently using. To do so, open the Safari app on your Mac and click on Safari from the menu bar. Now, select About Safari from the dropdown menu. Once you do so, a dialogue box will appear. The version of Safari you're currently using should be mentioned below the "Safari" text.

If you'd like to update Safari, follow the steps below to update macOS:

Click the Apple menu in the menu bar and select System Settings from the dropdown menu.

Select General from the sidebar on the left.

Click Software Update and wait for a few seconds.

Now, if a new update is available, click Update Now next to Updates Available.

If a Safari-specific update is available, you can click More Info and select Safari from the "Updates are available for your Mac" section.

To avoid having to update macOS manually to update Safari, we recommend enabling automatic updates. This way, you won't miss out on new features and can rest easy, knowing that Apple has fixed any known security threats . To do so, click the info icon next to Automatic updates and toggle on the switch next to Download new updates when available, Install macOS updates, and Install Security Responses and system files.

Blazing fast. Incredibly private.

Safari is the best way to experience the internet on all your Apple devices. It brings robust customization options, powerful privacy protections, and optimizes battery life — so you can browse how you like, when you like. And when it comes to speed, it’s the world’s fastest browser. 1

Performance

More with the battery. less with the loading..

With a blazing-fast JavaScript engine, Safari is the world’s fastest browser. 1 It’s developed to run specifically on Apple devices, so it’s geared to make the most out of your battery life and deliver long-lasting power.

Increased performance

We’re always working to make the fastest desktop browser on the planet even faster.

Improved power efficiency

Safari lets you do more online on a single charge.

4K video streaming

See your favorite shows and films in their best light. Safari supports in-browser 4K HDR video playback for YouTube, Netflix, and Apple TV+. 5 And it runs efficiently for longer-lasting battery life.

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Smart Tools

Designed to help your work flow..

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate. Get detailed information about a subject in a photo with just a click, select text within any image, instantly translate an entire web page, and quickly take notes wherever you are on a site — without having to switch apps.

Notes is your go-to app to capture any thought. And with the Quick Note feature, you can instantly jot down ideas as you browse websites without having to leave Safari.

Translation

Translate entire web pages with a single click. You can also get translations for text in images and paused video without leaving Safari.

Interact with text in any image or paused video on the web using functions like copy and paste, translate, and lookup. 6

Visual Look Up

Quickly learn more about landmarks, works of art, breeds of dogs, and more with only a photo or an image you find online. And easily lift the subject of an image from Safari, remove its background, and paste it into Messages, Notes, or other apps.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Learn more about passkeys

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Make Safari your default browser

Customize your start page, view your browsing privacy report, monitor your saved passwords, use apple pay in safari, view your tabs across all your devices, read the safari user guide, get safari support.

This solar eclipse simulator on SkySafari will guide you through the eclipse on April 8

A new "eclipse simulator" on SkySafari allows you to anticipate what you'll see when the moon blocks the sun in areas of North America on Monday (April 8).

The SkySafari Eclipse Simulation Widget, which you can see below, includes the ability to "watch" an eclipse from any point on Earth. A shadow tracker will let you watch the moon's shadow moving "across continents and oceans, a stunning reminder of the beauty and intricacy of our solar system," developers wrote.

The entry-level version of SkySafari 7 , which features on our best stargazing apps guide, is on a deep discount right now for just $0.99 ahead of the eclipse on Monday (April 8). Because that's  an 80% discount from the usual $4.99, make sure to act quickly; affiliated apps SkySafari Plus and SkySafari Pro are also on sale.

You can also keep up to date with the latest eclipse content on our  eclipse live blog  and  watch all the total eclipse action  live here on Space.com.

SkySafari 7 Basic stargazing app now 80% off .

The 'Basic' version of SkySafari 7 is 80% off until eclipse day. Act fast to access the solar eclipse features ahead of the big day on April 8 in the United States, Canada and Mexico. View Deal

Space.com already gives SkySafari 7 five stars as it lets you track stars, planets, galaxies and more with planetarium and telescope features. But as the eclipse approached, representative Pedro Braganca told Space.com, the small company has been pushing hard to put new features for users on the app.

"As developers and content creators, we often find ourselves lost in the world of coding, debugging, and endless cups of coffee. But every once in a while, a project comes along that reminds us why we fell in love with creating in the first place," Braganca wrote in an email interview, calling the simulator "our latest labor of love."

"Now, let's get one thing straight — we're not just a bunch of tech and space geeks pushing an app. We're a team of dreamers, adventurers, and stargazers, on a mission to share the wonder of the cosmos with as many people as we can," he added.

The simulator, he emphasized, will take some of the worry off your hands during the big event as you try to make sure your equipment, including solar glasses to view the event safely, is all ready for the precious few moments of totality.

"You're standing on the path of totality, anticipation hanging in the air like a shimmering veil. The countdown to totality is on, and you can feel the excitement building with every passing second. But instead of frantically checking your watch or squinting at a map, you simply glance at your phone and let SkySafari be your guide," he said.

Along with the simulator and shadow tracker, the app has a dynamic eclipse countdown clock and will include "audio prompts to keep you informed and entertained throughout the eclipse." These narrations "guide you through critical contact timings, ensuring that you never miss a beat. It's like having a knowledgeable astronomer by your side, whispering secrets of the cosmos directly into your ear."

The app's eclipse viewing guide includes detailed safety guidance as well, making sure you know when to put on your glasses and when to take them off. (Once you no longer have need for the glasses, SkySafari suggests you recycle them through its partnership with Astronomers Without Borders , which will allow the glasses to be used in areas with poorer access to these tools.)

A special "Eclipse" button on the main page allows users to access the content with ease. SkySafari 7 also offers "social" stargazing to see what sights others are looking at, tilt-to-slew scope control and augmented reality voice control.

In between finding the best telescope deals , the best binoculars deals and the best solar viewing kits , make sure to get 80% off SkySafari 7 's basic app to get ready for the big solar eclipse day.

Safari Trend Continues with the Toyota Crown Crossover Landscape

Available exclusively in japan..

Toyota has unveiled a new special edition of its popular Crown Crossover, named the “Landscape,” exclusively for the Japanese market. This all-terrain trim follows a safari or off-road trend that we’ve seen expressed through vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato and the Porsche Dakar . The Landscape edition elevates the Crown’s versatility by integrating off-road capabilities with urban sophistication, marking a significant shift from the traditional full-size sedan to a more rugged, high-riding vehicle.

The Toyota Crown Crossover Landscape distinguishes itself with a roughly one-inch lift and comes equipped with 18-inch wheels wrapped in 245/60 all-terrain tires, perfect for tackling any adventure. It boasts beefy wheel arches with a matte finish and exposed rivets, along with red mud flaps behind each wheel, adding to its rugged charm. An optional roof rack adds to its adventurous spirit, allowing for additional gear storage.
