I like to be red on icons,
Just two taps away on iPhones.

Hint 1:
The title matters.
Hint 2:
The first line can be puzzling.

I would say you are
The symbol "<"
Because:
I like to be red on icons,
You are red on the symbol of puzzling.stackexchange
Just two taps away on iPhones.
I assume as other symbols in the other answers, you can type it in two touches on an iPhone (I don't own one so I'm not sure)

"<" is the symbol to open a tag in html

It is also used in maths to write "is less than"
Edit: <3 is commonly used to draw a heart, which is a friendly symbol

$\begingroup$ This would also have been my answer, but I do have an iphone, and < is exactly three taps away. I even went to the trouble of changing the keyboard layout to English to verify that it didn't move to the second page. Oh well. $\endgroup$– BassCommented Jan 16, 2018 at 20:22

Answer:
A notification
I like to be red on icons
On phones, SE, etc. notification count is usually a number inside a small red circle
Just two taps away on iPhones
An iPhone notification can be dismissed with two taps

Email notifications and now browser desktop notifications keep users coming back

Not entirely sure but perhaps a friend request in a math game?

$\begingroup$ "Just two taps away on iPhones" means you can get/reach it with two taps, not dissmiss it. I guess. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 12, 2018 at 23:09

The iphone thing is probably dependent on both locale and context, but let’s try
the slash symbol, or /
When over icons, it’s usually red, and indicates
forbidden, not in use, out of order, and in general, “no”.
I’m writing this on an iphone, so two taps are needed, namely
123 and /.
Webmasters love it because
the HTTP request to serve the root of any site is “GET /“. Sysadmins are also often pretty passionate about the final slash in a URL pointing to a directory: if the slash is missing, the server will usually tell the browser to try again with the slash appended, resulting in unnecessary traffic.
And of course, in a math session,
the slash is the symbol for division.

I think
Beam
I like to be red on icons,
The music icon is in red in Iphones. The symbol in music icon is called Beam notes.
Just two taps away on iPhones.
Beam photos. You can beam files directly to another iOS device with iPhoto installed. I think it needs two taps.(I am a android user :P)
Webmasters love me with passion.
It can be Apache beam ?

I think this refers to BEAM (Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics), which is a community for creating pathways for underserved students to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists.

Perhaps you are
A colon (the punctuation mark)?
I like to be red on icons,
I'm thinking in particular of a digital clock or clock icon, which often has a red colon separating from hours from minutes.
Just two taps away on iPhones.
Similar to Bass's answer - one tap to get to the symbol keyboard, and another tap to select the : symbol itself.
Webmasters love me with passion,
Webmasters and website code often use colons - think of http:// at the beginning of a URL, for example.
Let's be friends in a math session!
Math uses colons to show ratios.
And the title (A Relatable Riddle)
A ratio is a way of relating two quantities to one another. In addition, writers might use a colon as a way to connect - or relate - multiple clauses in a sentence.
