Safari is one of those apps that can't be permanently removed, but that doesn't mean you're out of options.

Remove Safari from your iPhone's Home Screen by long-pressing the app icon and choosing "Remove App." It will be hidden in the App Library, but you can access it by simply searching for Safari.
Block Safari completely by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, enable it, and then toggle off Safari under Allowed Apps.
When you disable Safari, web ;links will be redirected incorrectly. To solve this, replace Safari with an alternative and make it your default browser in Settings. Remember, you can't permanently delete Safari from your iPhone.
