Assuming you are talking about paying for the app (not in-app purchases), and you are using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the app, and assuming you are using iOS 11 or later, go through the following process on the iPhone:


  • Open the App Store
  • Tap "Updates" in the lower row.
  • Tap your photo (or the emblem associated with your Apple ID) in the upper right corner.
  • Tap "Purchased"
  • Choose either "All" or "Not on this iPhone" on the top row.
  • Find Minecraft, tap the cloud to its right, and that will perform the free download.
