How to Check Previously Downloaded Apps on App Store?

by

Over time, you may have downloaded apps that you no longer need but might want to reinstall later. If you’ve forgotten their names, accessing your download history can be helpful. Below, you’ll learn how to view previously downloaded apps on your iPhone.

What Are Previously Downloaded Apps?

Previously downloaded apps are applications that were installed from the App Store but may have been deleted later. These apps remain linked to your Apple ID, allowing you to reinstall them without repurchasing (if paid).

How to View Previously Downloaded Apps in the App Store

You can check your download history directly in the App Store or by using the 3D Touch/Haptic Touch feature.

Method 1: Using the App Store

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Purchased.
  4. Choose:
    • All – Shows every app you’ve ever downloaded.
    • Not on This iPhone – Lists apps not currently installed.
  5. Use the Search bar to find a specific app if needed.

Method 2: Using 3D Touch/Haptic Touch

  1. Press and hold the App Store icon on your home screen.
  2. Tap Purchased from the menu.
  3. A full list of your downloaded apps will appear in chronological order.

This method helps you quickly locate and reinstall apps you may have forgotten about.
