App Store: Show purchases - how it works
Over the years, many apps accumulate in their own account. To keep an overview, you can display your store purchases. We'll show you how to do this on iPhone and PC.
View app store purchases on iPhone and iPad
On the iPhone and iPad, you can call up your purchased apps in the store yourself. The advantage: With just a tap, you can download the programs back to your device.
- Start the App Store on your iOS device.
- If you tap on the "Purchases" category, a list of all apps downloaded so far will appear.
- In the "All" tab you will find all the items you have bought so far. If you select "Not on iPad" or "Not on iPhone" instead, only apps that you do not currently have appear.
- On the iPad, you can also switch between iPhone and iPad apps in the top right.
App Store: Call up detailed shopping statistics via iTunes
You can find an even more detailed list of your app purchases in iTunes:
- Start iTunes and click on "iTunes Store".
- To the left of the search box, click your Apple ID and select the "Account" entry.
- Next to "Purchasing statistics" click on "Show all". After a short loading time, all of your app purchases appear.
- If you would like to see the details of a download, click on the arrow to the left of the purchase date.
If you accidentally bought one of the items, you can also return iPhone apps.
