How to Re-download Old Apps on your Android
I don’t know about you but I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep track of all my apps on Play Store. It happens to all of us at one point, right? You often buy new apps and somewhere along the line, you tend to forget all about some of them. Until something happens and you want back a certain app or two.
Well, in most cases, you can re-download any free or purchased app. After all, just imagime that Google keeps a track of your old apps for you, so everything is possible.

This should also help you understand your purchase habits better and make things easier even when you are moving between smartphones. Just try it out!
All you must do is use these steps and you will see how simple it is.
