Apps that you have purchased from the App Store are permanently associated with the AppleID account from which they were purchased. As long as the App remains available for download - and is compatible with your device(s) - Apps can be deleted and reinstalled on your device.


Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support


If you have any difficulties with reinstalling Apps:

If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you are unable to add or remove on your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
