Once you have accessed the App Library, you will see a list of all your installed apps. To find the recently deleted apps, scroll down to the bottom of the screen until you see the “Recently Deleted” section.
Step 3: View and Restore Deleted Apps
In the “Recently Deleted” section, you will find a list of apps that you have deleted in the past 30 days. To view a deleted app, simply tap on it. If you wish to restore the app, follow these steps:
1. Tap on the “Delete” button next to the app you want to restore.
2. A confirmation message will appear. Tap “Delete” again to confirm the deletion.
3. The app will be permanently removed from your iPhone.
If you change your mind and decide to restore the app, you can do so by following these steps:
1. Return to the “Recently Deleted” section in the App Library.
2. Tap on the “Restore” button next to the app you want to recover.
3. The app will be restored to your iPhone, and it will appear in your Home screen.
Step 4: Clear the Recently Deleted Section
After you have restored the app you wanted, you can clear the “Recently Deleted” section to remove all the deleted apps from the list. To do this, follow these steps:
