When I search something in safari it automatically goes to google I do know that you can change your default browser in settings > safari > browser
I am running iOS 16 and safari won’t show up as an option can anyone help me?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
It sounds as if you're getting "browser" confused with "search engine". Safari is a browser, an app that allows you to access the web. Other browsers include Firefox, Chrome (by the makers of Google), Brave and many others. "Google" (in this context at least) is a search engine, a site you navigate to using a browser and input a search query.
You can choose your default search engine by going to Settings>Safari>Search Engine. There is no "Safari" search engine. Apple does not have its own search site.
Safari is the default browser unless you change it. If you download another browser, such as Chrome, you can go to Settings>Chrome>Default Browser App and select something different. If you do that, you will then see Settings>Safari>Default Browser App. But, if you don't choose a different browser as default, you won't see that setting. In other words, if you don't see that setting, Safari is the default browser.

Safari is an internet browser (same type of thing as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc).
Search engines are not the same thing as an internet browser. They include things such as Google, Bing, etc.)
Ok thanks, yes I believe you are correct
Glad it helped.
