Hello LWink89,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. If you're trying to make Safari your default browser, we can help share steps on how to accomplish that. Follow these steps here: Change the default web browser or email app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


How to change your default web browser or email app 
1. Go to Settings and scroll down until you find the browser app or the email app.
2. Tap the app, then tap Default Browser App or Default Mail App.

3. Select a web browser or email app to set it as the default. A checkmark appears to confirm it's the default.

If you delete a web browser app, your device will set Safari as the default browser app. If you delete the Safari app, your device will set one of your other web browser apps as the default. To use the Safari app again, you'll need to reinstall it on your device.

If you'd like to also change your default search engine, you can follow these steps here:

1.) Go to Settings > Safari.

2.) Tap on Search Engine and select your preferred search engine.


Also, if you have specific websites you wish to see them listed in Safari under "Favorites", you can bookmark them, as mentioned here: Bookmark a website in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support



We hope this information is useful. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Cheers.
