How to view the Safari version in Setting of iPhone iOS?

I can not find the Safari version in Setting of iPhone.
Could any genius give some clue?
How to view the Safari version in Setting of iPhone iOS?
I viewed the website that it said the Safari version is binding with iOS version.
Such as iOS version is 13.., then the Safari version is 13.
Is it right?

You can visit https://spiderip.com/ to check the user agent and version of safari. But I don't know whether this side is safe.
I guess the function which will get the userAgent is in the below.
var k=this; {var ia=k.navigator;if(ia){var ja=ia.userAgent;if(ja){w=ja;break a}}w=""}
The other solution is that you can write a html page with the javascript in the below.
javascript:alert(this.navigator.userAgent)

Polymer website not opening on ios Safari or Chrome

The website I've been creating on http://chrisgiffy.github.com won't open on iOS with either Chrome or Safari
I'm not able to find out what the issue is. All I get in return is a blank page.
Can someone help me on this or show me how to debug on the device?
On IOS 9.3.2 I have discovered that Polymer paper-fab.. has an affect on rendering the page.
If you are using that component, then try removing it (hoping someone can fork a new version.)

iOS 9 and universal links on Safari from an iframe

I am trying to get a universal link to my iOS app working on iOS 9.
The link should be displayed in an iframe.
As of now I have got it working correctly for chrome on iOS 9 using:
Chrome iOS 9 all good
This link does not work on Safari from an iframe tho.
Through some experimenting I found that following link does work when called from my local ip:
Safari iOS 9 problem case
But for some reason this will not open my iOS app when I add this link on a page hosted at the same domain as the universal link (demo.linkid.be)
Any thoughts? Or is this a bug in Safari at this time?
[Update]
Safari iOS 9 with following link will work if you long press the link.
An action sheet appears allowing you to open it via the app.
Chrome iOS 9 all good
In order to make a universal link inside of an iframe work in Safari on iOS9 you can use target="_top". The tradeoff is that the link will open in the same window.

IOS Web App open links within web app

I am in the mist of creating a mobile web app and have both meta tags
I have an iphone 5 on 7.0.4
When I click on a regular link like the one below it, opens up a mobile safari window and leaves the webapp. I also tried setting the target to _self and same behavior.
Sign in
I then used my ipad which was on 7.0.3 and it worked as should, not opening mobile safari on links. I think proceeded to update my ipad to 7.0.4 and the same issue as I had on my ipad.
Anyone ran into this issue and or knows a fix ?
Thanks
Since iOS 7.0.4 all links in WebApps open in Safari. As a workaround you can use Javascript:
window.location.href='text.html'
But remember that these steps will not be captured in history (so there is no ability to use Javascript like history.back() ..).
Alternatively, if you are using a menu in your web app, try to combine iframe and Javascript, you can change the content of your iframe with this Javascipt:
document.getElementById("frame").src = new_content.html
This will prevent your WebApp to open up links in Safari and stay in WebApp view.

Create iOS Home Screen Shortcuts on Chrome for iOS

I have a web app that allows the user to add the web page to his home screen on the iphone.
That functionality exists with Safari.
Now they released the chrome browser for the iphone too. My question is how can I instruct the user to add the web page to his ios home screen. The chrome browser doesnt seem to have that functionality..?
Can I add a shortcut from chrome options so that it would appear on the iphone home page?
For completeness:

Does Add to homescreen work on Chrome for iOS?
No.
Can't change the default browser, but try this (found online a while ago). Add a bookmark in Safari called "Open in Chrome" with the following.
javascript:location.href=%22googlechrome%22+location.href.substring(4);
Will open the current page in Chrome. Not as convenient, but maybe someone will find it useful.

Works for me.
The is no API for adding a shortcut to the home screen in iOS, so no third-party browser is capable of providing that functionality.
