Remove apps from iPad - Apple Support


Some apps cannot be removed at all.


You can hide purchases but not delete them entirely.

- "You can see your purchase history, but you can't remove apps from your purchase history."

- "If you don't want to see an app in your list of purchases in the App Store, hide it."

- "When you hide an app, it won't appear in your list of purchases in the App Store. If you use Family Sharing, the app also won't appear in family members' purchases and won't be available for family members to redownload. But the app will still appear in your purchase history."

- "Hiding an app doesn't cancel a subscription. If you use Family Sharing and you hide an app that you subscribed to, the Family Organizer will still be notified of charges each time the subscription renews."
