When you update your OS will it automatically update your Safari browser

Trying to update my Safari browser to 16.0 or higher and it says the software update is current Catalina 10.15.7 but I can't update the Safari browser to 16.0 from current 15.0.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 14

Internet security features continue to evolve and older versions of Safari cannot negotiate secure connections with newer sites.


If you are having trouble connecting to and using websites with your older version of Safari, try it with a newer third party browser that is still being updated to meet current internet security protocols.


I suggest you take a look at Firefox browser or Brave browser


And, yes, the Safari browser is typically updated with a macOS update or upgrade. Of course, that only happens if your Mac can support the newer macOS version.
