How to find uninstalled apps on iphone

You can see all installed apps on your iPhone in more than a few ways but what about recently deleted apps? Yes, you can see those apps under the Account > Purchased section in App Store. Once there, you can install them again or hide them from the list. Learn more below.

Can you find recently deleted apps on iPhone?

The only way you can see the recently deleted apps on your iPhone is by looking at the Purchased section in App Store. There, you can find all installed apps along with apps that were previously installed on your device. From there, you can redownload apps. There’s no way to sort apps by date so you’ll need to locate apps by thoroughly browsing through the list.

Here’s how to find recently deleted apps on your iPhone:

  1. Open App Store.
  2. Tap on your account pic at the top right corner.
  3. Select Purchased.
  4. Tap Not on this iPhone.

  5. You should see the list of all previous apps that are not currently installed.

Have in mind that this list contains apps from all devices with that Apple ID. So, you might see years-old apps from previous devices or other devices with the same account. You can also swipe and hide apps from the list and, based on our research, there’s no way to restore them. If you search for them in App Store, hidden apps don’t have a cloud-icon next to them and appear just like any other app you never installed before.

Other than that, there are no other ways to find out which app was deleted from your iPhone. Some users suspect that there’s a way to use iTunes but, based on what we know, that’s not an option.

And, on that note, we can conclude this short and, hopefully, informative article. Thank you for reading and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section below. We look forward to hearing from you.

Find recently deleted iPhone apps

How do I find an app that I accidentally uninstalled?

Reinstall apps or turn apps back on.
On your Android phone or tablet, open Google Play Store ..
On the right, tap the profile icon..
Tap Manage apps & device. Manage..
Select the apps you want to install or turn on. If you can't find the app, at the top, tap Installed. Not installed..
Tap Install or Enable..

Can I see what apps have been deleted?

Open the Google Play app on your device. Tap on your Profile Icon in the upper right-hand corner. Make sure that you're logged into the same Google account used to download the missing apps. In the menu, tap on My Apps & Games; on some Android devices, it might say Manage apps & device instead.
