Unhide Apps?

Question

Unhide Apps?

I don't know if I'm going crazy, but it seems there is no way to unhide apps from the iOS app store anymore. On both my iPhone and iPad:

App Store - Tap on My Profile Top Right - Tap on my Name - Hidden Purchases (where it says right under it "Unhide purchases that you have previously hidden")

Once I tap on Hidden purchases, it seems we can only download a hidden purchase and not Unhide it so that it appears in the Purchased list.

Am I missing something or did Apple just remove the most basic functionality?

No, you're not missing anything! It seems that one can only now unhide an app (so that it appears in the Purchased list again) by going into iTunes on a Mac or PC. This article tells you how:
