Every app that you\u2019ve ever purchased is associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase it with. If you uninstall an app, and need to install it again your Purchased list can help you find it. It\u2019s especially useful if you\u2019re looking for an obscure app. That said, if you don\u2019t like your list of purchased apps to be so easily accessible you can hide purchases on iOS.<\/p>\n

Hiding an app doesn\u2019t delete it, nor does cancel any of your subscriptions.<\/p>\n

Hide Purchases On iOS<\/h2>\n

Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad. App purchases are tied to the account that was used to download them. If you have more than one Apple ID, you will need to sign in to whichever one you used to download the app purchase you want to hide.<\/p>\n

Once signed in, tap your Apple ID avatar at the top right. On your Account page, you will see an option \u2018Purchased\u2019. Tap it and you can see a list of all apps that you\u2019ve downloaded, and that are installed on the current device. To view apps that you\u2019ve downloaded but later uninstalled from the current device, go to the Not on this iPhone tab.<\/p>\n

Scroll through the list and look for an app you want to hide. When you see an app you want to hide, swipe left to reveal a Hide button. Tap it to hide the app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To view your hidden purchases, open the App Store app, tap your Apple account avatar at the top right, and tap View account on the menu that appears. Tap your account ID and enter your password, Touch ID, or Face ID to authenticate. On your Account page, scroll down and you will see a \u2018Hidden Purchases\u2019 section. Tap it and you can see all hidden items. You can redownload an item if you want.<\/p>\n

Unhide Purchases On iOS<\/h2>\n

To unhide a purchase, you\u2019re going to have to go through iTunes. There\u2019s no way to unhide a purchase from your device alone.
Open iTunes and go to Account>View Account. Sign in to the same Apple account that you hid purchases on.<\/p>\n

On the Account Information screen, scroll down to the iTunes in the Cloud section. Here, you\u2019ll see an option called Hidden Purchases. Click Manage next to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will be taken to a screen that lists all your hidden purchases. Click the \u2018Unhide\u2019 button under a purchase to unhide it.<\/p>\n

An older version of this post incorrectly stated that iTunes 12.7 didn\u2019t allow users to unhide purchases. Thanks to reader Fede777 for the correction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
