How to Re-Download Old Apps Purchased From the App Store
Setting up a new phone is always difficult. But it is especially annoying trying to find and re-download all of your apps. In the video above, I’ll show you how easy it is to find all the apps you’ve ever downloaded or bought.
The process is simple. Go to your App Store account page by clicking the account icon in the upper-right corner and then clicking Purchased. If you have Family Sharing set up, you will see your account followed by all of your family’s accounts. Now, just click on your account and you will be presented with a list of all the apps you have ever downloaded or purchased, in reverse chronological order. From here, you can easily download or find the apps you want.
An even easier way is to simply press and hold the App Store icon and tap Purchased. This will take you directly to your family’s list of accounts.
