SubscribeAre you missing the Safari icon on the Home screen of your iPhone 3G or iPod Touch? Here are some things to check.
1. Make sure you didn’t drag it to another Home screen. You can flick your finger left or right to switch between Home screens.
2. Make sure there isn’t a restriction on the application. If your employer provided you with your device they may have done this. Check under Select Settings > General > Restrictions. Make sure Safari is set to On.
3. If none of the above works. It’s time to try a Restore.
- Connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes.
- Select your device under Devices.
- Select Summary.
- Select Restore.
Hopefully after trying these steps your Safari icon will be restored to the Home screen of your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Thanks for the tip on checking restrictions on Safari. I spent an hour yesterday with Apple trying to figure out where the Safari icon went to. After reading your above tip I had the issue resolved immediately.
