Apps require safari when safari has been removed

Hello,

I have removed (deleted) Safari from my iPhone 13. When I go to the App Library and type the word Safari it returns a 'No results for Safari'. I'm happy with that. However when I download apps from the App Store some apps require Safari and instead of the app opening as it should I get a message which says 'Safari can't open the page because your iPhone is not connected to the internet'. My phone is connected to the internet - and it works just fine. So it would appear that certain apps such as Harmony Health require Safari in order for them to open on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this experience ? Is there a work around ? I keep a minimum number of apps on my iPhone and really do not want Safari on my iPhone. Any help to resolve this dilemma will be much appreciated.

Thank you

iPhone 13, iOS 18
