Hiding Unused Apps in the App Store

• On your iPhone or iPad, Tap and open the App Store. You can hide apps from appearing in the App Store if you no longer want them associated with your account. The App Store can be found on your home screen or in a folder. 

• Tap the image of your account. This located in the upper-right corner of the screen. If you do not have a photograph, the image will be a circle with your initials. 

• Select Purchased. It can be found near the top of the Account menu. This displays a list of all apps downloaded with this Apple ID.

• Swipe left on an app you want to uninstall. There will be a red “Hide” button. 

• Select the red Hide button. This removes the app from the list of apps that have been purchased or downloaded. These steps can be repeated for any other apps on this list. 

Note: This action is strictly administrative and does not save any storage space on your device or in your iCloud account. Hidden apps can be re-downloaded in the App Store as usual.
