Safari cannot be completely removed from your device, only moved from the Home screen to the App Library.

So, you can either access it through the App Library or drag it out of there and back on to your Home screen.

looks like the previous post beat me to it.

You can't delete Safari, no matter what you do, it'll just go to your app library under the utilities folder.

Simply drag it to where you want.

I forgot the app library was a thing, but am glad to get safari back.

hey
you're not alone.
I downloaded overcast and checked both the pages and I could not find it. then I remembered app library and I'm glad I found it!
same thing happened with another app I downloaded.
I sometimes forget that there is something called an app library!

I don't really like the app library and wish it didn't exist but it's just a new feature to get used to.

Oh by the way, speaking of overcast, did you try what i asked in my post?

I love the new feature.
yes, I tried and reported back to you on your forum topic I think. however, I'll also check again if I haven't.
but I think I did.

The library is one of those things that grows on you.

I don't use it myself because my apps are organised the way I like, but if I were to forget where I put an app, then it's now easy enough to go to the library, find the app and move it wherever I want, regardless of where it was previously.

The only time that doesn't work, is if you're looking at your apps in the library in alphabetical order.
