How can you find recently deleted apps on iPhone?
Losing an app on your iPhone can be quite frustrating, especially if it was an app you frequently used. However, there are several methods you can try to recover recently deleted apps on your iPhone. In this article, we will discuss some of the most effective ways to find and restore your deleted apps.
1. Check the App Library
The App Library is a feature introduced in iOS 13 that organizes all your apps in one place, making it easier to find them. To check if your recently deleted app is still in the App Library:
1. Open the App Library by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen on an iPhone with a Home button, or by going to the “Library” tab on an iPhone with a screen that supports the notch.
2. Scroll through the list of apps until you find the deleted app.
3. Tap on the app, and then tap the “Add to Home Screen” button to restore it to your home screen.
2. Use the Recently Deleted Folder
iOS automatically moves deleted apps to the Recently Deleted folder, where they remain for a certain period before being permanently deleted. To recover an app from the Recently Deleted folder:
1. Open the App Library as described in the previous step.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on the “Recently Deleted” folder.
3. Find the deleted app, tap on it, and then tap “Delete” to remove it from the folder, or tap “Restore” to move it back to your home screen.
3. Restore from iCloud Backup
If you have an iCloud backup, you can restore your deleted app from there. To do this:
1. Go to “Settings” on your iPhone and tap your name at the top of the screen.
2. Tap “iCloud,” then “iCloud Backup.”
3. Make sure that “iCloud Backup” is turned on and that your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
4. Tap “Back Up Now” to ensure your device is up to date with the latest backup.
5. Go back to the main “Settings” screen, tap “General,” then “Reset.”
6. Tap “Erase All Content and Settings” and enter your passcode.
7. During the setup process, choose “Restore from iCloud Backup” and sign in to your iCloud account.
8. Select the latest backup that contains the deleted app, and your iPhone will restore it.
4. Check Third-Party Backup Apps
If you have used a third-party backup app like iMyFone D-Back or Dr.Fone, you may be able to recover your deleted app from one of your backups. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the third-party backup app on your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and select “Recover from iOS Device” or a similar option.
3. Choose the backup that contains the deleted app and start the recovery process.
Remember that the success of these methods may vary depending on the circumstances. If you can’t find the deleted app using any of these methods, it might be permanently deleted from your iPhone.
