iPhone iOS 4.0 Upgrade Missing Safari App

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 | Apps, Technology

So I just updated my 3G iPhone to iOS4!  It only took about 4 hours to complete.  After finishing the update I noticed I was missing the Safari App…  Yep… The Safari Icon is missing.  I looked over all 6 pages of apps and couldn’t find it anywhere.  After a quick google I found that my work’s Exchange Email account was conflicting with the Safari App (weird).  Anyway, the quick fix is to reset your Home Screen layout:

Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

Another thing to check is the device’s restrictictions.  Make sure the Safari app is turned ON:

Settings > General > Restrictions

Hey SC…

Check the Device’s Restrictions:

Settings > General > Restrictions

People are reporting that after a factory restore – that the restrictions are now turned off for some apps.

Thanks, 2nd fix worked for me. If Restrictions is turn ON then go into it and check settings within it.

There are lots of things in there you might want to adjust…or maybe not, but good to check out for parents giving phone to kid.
