Updating Hidden Apps

I have hidden a few apps from my purchase history in the App Store. I can find them inside Hidden Purchases. They are still installed on my iPhone, but will I still receive updates on them now that they are hidden?

Hi JS87_DK,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you have hidden apps and want to make sure updates will still be available for hidden apps.


When you hide an app, this only removes it from your purchase history. When an update for these apps is available, you'll still be able to update without any issues. Check out Hide purchases from the App Store for further information.


Take care.
