You recently deleted an application, but now you need it again? Wondering how many games and programs have you downloaded in your entire life? All of this can be found in the App Store download history. But how do you get access to it? Let's tell you now.
How to view the purchase history of the App Store and iTunes Store with a price indication
Apple has made it easier for its users to view their purchase history. You can now find out what and when you purchased from the App Store and iTunes directly in the Settings app on your iOS device.
In order to view the purchase history in the "Settings" application on an iOS device, you need to:
1. Go to "Settings" → "iTunes Store and App Store".
2. Enter Apple ID (or click on E-mail (Apple ID), if it is displayed at the top) and select "View Apple ID", after which the system will ask you to enter a password or use Touch ID or Face ID.
If you use Family Sharing, you'll only see your purchase history and won't be able to see what other family members have bought. In order to view their purchase history, you need to log in with their Apple ID.
3. Scroll to Purchase History and tap on it.
In the Purchase History section, purchases are sorted by the date when the funds were debited for them. By clicking on the "Last 90 days" button, you can change the display of the list of purchases made by year.
Items for which payment has not yet been processed by the bank will be marked as "Pending". By clicking on the item specified in the history, you can find out the date of its purchase / download and the name of the device from which the purchase was made. If you notice any inconsistencies, click on the "Report a problem" button.
If you accidentally deleted the purchase confirmation that came to your email, you can request a new one by clicking on the "Resend" button.
How to see all the apps you've ever downloaded on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
1. Open Settings → iTunes Store & App Store and sign in to your Apple ID.
2. Open the App Store app.
3. Click on the icon with your profile in the upper right.
4. Select Shopping → My purchases.
Done!
Here are all the apps you've ever downloaded to this device from your Apple ID - both paid and free games and programs. They are divided into two groups - Everyone and Not on this iPhone (iPad / iPod Touch). The second group displays applications that are not currently on your device. In addition, a title search function is available.
Please note - if your device is running iOS 11 and later, 32-bit applications cannot be downloaded from the My Purchases section - first, their developer must modify the program or game so that they become 64-bit (this is a new iOS requirement starting from the 11th version). You cannot download applications that have been removed from the App Store for one reason or another, although they will still be on the list.
How to remove (hide) an app or game from your App Store purchase history on iPhone or iPad
To hide a purchase, swipe right to left on the selected application or game and click Hide. The hidden app will disappear from the App Store shopping list.
To download the hidden app again, type its name in the Search tab in the App Store (not in the purchase history search).
