Additional Tips
– If you’re trying to remove an app from your purchase history but can’t find it, it might be because the app has been removed from the store or you’ve already installed it on your device.
– If you accidentally delete an app from your device, you can always download it again from the App Store or Google Play Store using your purchase history.
– If you have privacy concerns, remember that deleting an app from your purchase history does not delete it from your device. You’ll need to manually uninstall the app from your device as well.
