How to view receipts for purchases in the App Store or iTunes
To view receipts, you must go to the appropriate “Receipts” section. The list generation process may need to wait a couple of seconds. The search can be carried out by items or amounts that were paid. You can see products that were purchased earlier than the period specified in the search settings on your iPhone in “Settings.”
To send a receipt to yourself by email, you need to find the product you are interested in, click on the “Receipt” button and find the “Print” or “Send” items at the bottom. After selecting the appropriate action, the document will be sent to the linked e-mail address. You cannot send an invoice for a free product.
If the required payment receipt cannot be found, you should check whether Family Sharing is installed in the system. If yes, then the purchases of other family members will not be reflected in the list. To view items and receipts, you must sign in with a unique Apple ID that belongs to a specific family member.

Why are games and applications not deleted in iOS and what should I do?
It would seem that what could be difficult about deleting a program? But believe me, this happens...
Listed below are the most popular problems that a user may encounter, as well as their solutions:
- There is no cross on the application icon or there is no delete button (if the actions are performed through the settings). Solution! Most likely, restrictions have been set and deletion is blocked. You can remove them by going to Settings - Universal access - Restrictions - Uninstall programs.
- The game was deleted, but the empty icon from it remained and is not deleted in any way. Or the application is in standby and loading mode, and they cannot be deleted! Solution! Everything about such ailments is possible.
- You can delete, but not all applications - some do not have a cross. Solution! There are two options here - these are standard applications from Apple itself (weather, calculator, etc.), they cannot be deleted (with the advent of iOS 10 this opportunity appeared). Or, these are programs downloaded when using jailbreak - some of them must be removed directly through Cydia (Cydia - Manage - Packages).
It would seem like a simple process - to delete a game or application, but I didn’t expect how voluminous the article turned out. Therefore, if you read it to the end, then it is worth noting this matter and praising yourself by giving it a “like”!
PS And of course, if you have any questions or something doesn’t work out, feel free to write in the comments. I'll try to answer everyone!

How to remove a program from iPhone and iPad
Here we have three methods - you are free to choose absolutely any one. The process for each of them is quite simple, so... I'll keep it short:
In fact, the easiest and fastest way is, of course, the first one. This is what is used in most cases. However, others also have the right to exist. For example, uninstalling a program through Settings allows you to control the amount of memory on your iPhone or iPad. Well, there’s no need to talk about using iTunes - many people work with their device exclusively using it, and it’s much more convenient for them to do it this way.
By the way, in my practice I met a person who persistently proved to me that it is possible to correctly remove programs and, in general, to fully work with Apple equipment only through iTunes. Everything else is a complete mistake and stupidity. Thank God our communication was short-lived.
Method number 3: via iTunes
You can erase programs from both smartphones, tablets, and Apple players using the iTunes application, which is pre-installed on your computer or laptop. The method is also quite simple.
So, how to delete an application from iPhone 6 s, 7, 5, 8, etc.:
- Connect your gadget to your computer using a USB cable.
- Launch iTunes on your PC.
- Click on the mobile device management tab - the phone icon at the top of the application window.
- On the right side of the iTunes screen, click on “Applications.”
- The desktop layout of your smartphone will appear on the main window. Select the screen on which the application that turns out to be unnecessary is located.
- Hover your mouse over the icon for this program. A delete cross will appear in its corner.
- Click on it and the application will disappear. But be careful: in this way the program is erased without confirmation and irrevocably!
- When finished editing, click “Done” at the bottom of the screen. After synchronizing with the gadget, the application will be removed from it.
How to clear message/iMessage history?
Regular SMS and iMessages are deleted in the same way. You can erase both individual SMS messages and entire correspondence. It’s easier to get rid of correspondence: just go to the “Messages” application, swipe from right to left on the correspondence that is no longer needed, and click on the red button labeled “Delete”.
If you need to erase specific messages, you should proceed differently:
Step 1 . In the Messages application, find the desired conversation and open it.
Step 2 . Tap and hold SMS until the following menu appears:
Step 3 . Select the "More" option. The message will be marked with a tick.
Step 4 . Check the boxes next to other SMS messages that you want to erase.
Step 5 . Click on the trash can icon in the lower left corner.
Step 6 . The iPhone will recalculate the number of messages to be deleted and ask you to confirm the operation.
Click "Delete messages (...)".
After this, only important information will remain in your correspondence.
How to delete iPhone call history?
With iPhone call history, you can quickly connect with the people you communicate with most often—without wasting time searching for their numbers in your phone book. You can also “clean” your call history, leaving only the most necessary contacts in the list. Here's how it's done:
Step 1 . Go to the Phone app and select the Recents tab.
A list of calls will appear on the screen.
Step 2 . Click on the "Edit" button located in the upper right corner.
You will see that a red circle with a minus appears next to each call.
How to proceed next depends on your intentions. You can erase calls one at a time by clicking on the red circles next to them and then confirming the action by clicking on “Delete”.
iPhone also allows you to clear your call history completely . To do this, click on the “Delete” button and select the “Clear all recent” option in the menu that appears.
Data about calls made by users of Apple devices with iOS 8.1 and higher are sent to Apple, even if the iCloud backup feature is disabled. This is provided for by the organization's policy. Apple claims that it stores information only for the last month and solely for the benefit of users - so that they have the opportunity to restore important data in case of loss. However, experts from the domestic company Elcomsoft managed to recover information about calls made over the last 4 months. These statistics have added fuel to the debate over whether Apple is spying on Russians.

How to remove App Store purchases from your device and clean it up
There are three main ways to delete purchases on the gadget itself. The first and simplest method assumes that the user goes to the device’s desktop and presses the shortcut of the application he needs for a few seconds - until he starts to move. After this, an image of a cross should appear at the top left. Clicking on it will delete the program and all its data. You should also keep in mind that standard system applications cannot be removed.
You can also delete a game or program through the device settings. Go to the “Statistics” item through the main settings and select “Storage location” (the last item may have a different name, depending on the iOS version). Now we wait for the system to load the list of programs. Select the application we need and click “Uninstall a program”. Note that those programs that take up the most space on the device will be located at the top. To see all applications, click the corresponding button at the end of the list.
The third method involves using iTunes on your computer. The device is connected and selected in the media library. Now go to “Programs” and delete what you need. At the very end, do not forget about synchronization.
Articles and Lifehacks
Various reasons may prompt a user to get rid of all or some applications from his shopping list in the online store. Finding out how to clear your App Store history
, as well as how, if necessary, to restore the necessary information, a person will be able to make his work with an Apple device much more convenient. For example, the user will be able to hide information from prying eyes, or clear the history in order to increase comfort - especially if the list of downloads has already become simply huge.
Why do you need purchase history on iPhone?
The company recently made it easier for iPhone and iPad users to view their purchases and downloads. Now you do not need to open the iTunes service on a personal computer running Mac OS or Windows operating systems. You can find a detailed list in the Settings app. This way you can even find out information about those games that were downloaded back in 2010 or even in 2008.
Viewing information about purchased products in iPhone settings
This function is needed primarily so that the user can control himself and see where his money is or has once been spent. The service stores information from the very beginning of the system and can group receipts, which is very convenient.
If you have any complaints, you can cancel your purchase and request a refund.
How to restore the App Store
If you previously deleted the shopping store, and now you need to return the App Store, then doing this is as simple as possible. It will only take you a few minutes. If you have deleted the App Store, this will not seem unfamiliar to you, since you need to do the same steps.
Go to Settings , select General and find Restrictions . Next, you need to enter the password that you already entered when uninstalling the application. This point stops many. It was not for nothing that we drew attention to the fact that you MUST remember the password. If you have forgotten this password, then only flashing the device will help you, no matter how sad it may sound.
If you remember the password and have successfully entered it, then you need to move the Install programs (see the figure above).
How to delete history in Safari on iPhone?
Although third-party browsers can be installed on the iPhone, most fans of Apple technology continue to use Safari. If you are planning to clean your Apple smartphone, you should start with the history of the pre-installed browser. Deleting Safari history should be done through “Settings” - proceed as follows:
Step 1 . In “Settings”, find the “Safari” section and go to it.
Step 2 . Scroll down the page and find the “Clear history” option. Click on it.
Step 3 . Confirm that you want to clear your history - click on the appropriate button.
The “Clear history” item will be darkened - this means that you coped with the task with a bang.
Please note that in our example (on iOS 7.1.2) there are two buttons - “Clear history” and “Delete cookies and data”. If you press only the first one, the cookies will remain in the iPhone's memory. On gadgets with iOS of other versions there may be only one button - “Clear history and website data”. In this case, you will not be able to save cookies by deleting your browser history.
There is no need to erase cookies from your iPhone. This action will not free up a lot of space, but you will lose the ability to quickly log in to services and will be faced with the need to remember all the passwords.
You can also clear your search history on iPhone through the browser itself. This is done as follows:
Step 1 . Find the “Bookmarks” button on the bottom panel (with the image of an open book) and click on it.
Step 2 . Next, go to the “History” section.
Step 3 . Click on the “Clear” button located in the lower right corner.
Step 4 . In the menu that appears, select the “Clear” option - this will confirm that you want to say goodbye to the history of browsing Internet pages.
If you do not want the addresses of the sites you visit to remain in the memory of your mobile device, use “Private Access”. Requests after activating “Private Access” will also not be saved. You need to enable the “Private Access” function in the “Bookmarks” menu - just click on the button of the same name in the lower left corner, then click “Done”.
The fact that “Private Access” is enabled can be judged by the background color of the browser. The background turns black.
How to exit the App Store
If you want to limit or prohibit downloading applications, you can simply leave the store (everything is the same as offline: if you don’t want potatoes, leave the vegetable store). To download any application you need an Apple ID, but if you log out of it, you cannot download anything.
This can be done as easily as possible. Go to the settings item iTines Store and App Store , click on the account and select Log Out .
This is how you can exit the App Store
To log out of your account, you must enter your password. In this case, the App Store icon will remain, but it will become useless.
