I’d check that out if you think he can’t access it. Everything I’ve seen shows it’s always there just not necessarily on the Home Screen.

You sure your kid doesn’t know your parental override code?

I’ve tested it. I take his phone and go right to safari and it lets me do

Not sure why you can’t delete it. I deleted it on my sons phone.

You can remove it as an app but make sure to deactivate Siri as an internet

Just delete it. If you set the restriction to download apps, he can’t add it.

Also, if you want him on safari, why does he have a smartphone?

Have you toggled safari off in allowed apps? If you do that, it shouldn’t

Yes. I did exactly that. Still allowed.

Android is so far superior to iPhone for parental controls

Really? I don't love the Android parental controls

Not the built in ones, what they allow third party apps to do. I use mmguardian and it

I wish it let you do app categories

Android parent controls are better because you can actually get them to work.

There are all sorts of work arounds to this and, if he wants, he will be able to
