Per Apple, here is how to unhide and Hide purchases from the App Store - Apple Support


“You can't unhide an app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you can redownload an app. You don't have to buy the app again.”


I don’t have anything as old as iOS 10 to check this, though.

Hi there,


You can find hidden purchases in the App Store.

On an iPhone tap your Account on the top right of the screen and this will open up where your app updates are found. Tap on your name at the top of the screen and you will need your password/TouchID/FaceID to open a new page in which you’ll find a tab that says “Hidden Purchases”. Tap on this and in it you will find your hidden apps.


I hope this
