Designed and developed by Apple, Safari is a web browser specially developed for iOS-based operating systems, including macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Safari is the default browser on Apple devices.
Apple typically does not have a dedicated customer service hotline or support channel for Safari browser-related issues.
