How to Find Recently Deleted Apps on iPhone
In today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s not uncommon to accidentally delete an app from your iPhone. Whether it was a cherished game, a productivity tool, or a useful utility, losing an app can be quite frustrating. The good news is that there are ways to find recently deleted apps on your iPhone. In this article, we will guide you through the process of locating and restoring your deleted apps.
1. Check the Recently Deleted Folder
The first place you should look for recently deleted apps is the “Recently Deleted” folder. This feature is designed to give you a short window of time to recover apps that you may have deleted by mistake. Here’s how to access it:
1. Open the “App Library” on your iPhone by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on an iPhone with a Home button or by swiping up from the bottom left corner of the screen on an iPhone with Face ID.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the App Library and tap on the “Recently Deleted” folder.
3. You will see a list of apps that have been deleted in the past 30 days. To restore an app, simply tap on it and then tap “Restore.”
2. Use a Backup to Restore Deleted Apps
If the “Recently Deleted” folder doesn’t contain the app you’re looking for, you can try restoring it from a backup. This method requires that you have previously backed up your iPhone using iCloud or iTunes. Here’s how to do it:
1. On your iPhone, go to “Settings” > “Your Name” > “iCloud” > “iCloud Backup.”
2. Tap “Manage Backup” and then “Back Up Now” to ensure your latest data is backed up.
3. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
4. Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
5. Click on “Summary” and then “Restore Backup.”
6. Choose the latest backup that contains the deleted app and click “Restore.”
3. Reinstall the App from the App Store
If you don’t have a backup or if the app is not in the “Recently Deleted” folder, you can still try to reinstall it from the App Store. Here’s how:
1. Open the “App Store” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Search” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Enter the name of the app you want to reinstall in the search field.
4. Tap on the app’s name in the search results.
5. Tap “Get” or “Install” to download and install the app on your iPhone.
By following these steps, you should be able to find and restore recently deleted apps on your iPhone. Remember to regularly back up your device to prevent permanent loss of data.
