Have to buy already purchased app.

So i recently decided i wanted to download Bloons TD 5 HD on my phone as a way to kill time, i had already bought it on my iPad air 2 and was signed into the same apple id so i should just be able to download it but it says i have to buy it a second time again. I have checked in my phones "Purchase History" and it has confirmed that in 2016 i did buy the game so why cant it recognise that i do not need to purchase it again? The images below are proof that i have purchased it on my iPad and that i cant on my phone.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hello Waffle_Man500,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about downloading your purchase on your iPhone.


Please check this help article: Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books - Apple Support


If you don't see it in your purchases, check if it is hidden: Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
