When you go to the purchased apps in the iTunes store on your mac or pc the option to hide isn't there.
The x that appears in the top left of each icon in other versions isn't there in this one. Oddly, it is in music but not in apps. Has anyone figured out how to hide it in this version? Add a comment.

From the Home Screen, touch and hold the app. From the menu that appears, choose Prioritize Download. Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad.
If you still can't download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad, contact Apple Support. Open the App Store and sign in If a blue account button appears at the top of the App Store, you might not be signed in. Manually update the app In the App Store, try to update the app manually. Check your payment method You might need to have a payment method on file, even if the app that you want to download is free.
Prioritize the download From the Home Screen, touch and hold the app. Tap Open , and if this is the first APK you've installed, you'll be asked to go to Settings to confirm that you want to install "unknown apps" from this source.
In this case, the source is your Android web browser. You'll have to do this only once for your web browser, and you can then tap Install to run the APK and install the app. If you need to access the install-unknown-apps setting again, you can find it by going to Settings then selecting Apps and notifications , the app in question usually your web browser , Advanced , and Install unknown apps. You can install apps from file-syncing services such as Dropbox, as long as you enable this feature for the relevant app.
That's really all there is to it—the process might vary slightly if you're using something other than the stock version of Android 10, which is the latest version at the time of writing. In Android 11 , the process is changing slightly, so the downloaded app will have to restart once you've given it permission to run.
The biggest challenge with sideloading apps on Android is not how to do it, but making sure everything you install is safe: Android apps are given more rein on your device than they are on iOS, so the potential for an untrustworthy app to do damage or steal data is significantly higher—as long as you stick to known portals like APKMirror and known apps that are well established and widely used, you can minimize your risk.
For the more adventurous, rooting your Android phone is an option: This basically means hacking your Android phone to take off all its limits and restrictions, but it's not for the faint of heart. While it lets you give apps more control over your system— Titanium Backup , an excellent whole-device backup tool, is a good example—it's difficult to do, it's likely to break some of your favorite apps, and it leaves your phone more vulnerable from a security perspective.
Unless you have a very good reason, we'd recommend using the APK method rather than rooting to install non—Play Store apps. Besides, the procedure to root you phone varies among devices and even among carriers sometimes, depending on whether your phone is locked. It used to be a popular pastime, but it's much less common now and in many cases more difficult, and that's by design.
Lastly, web apps are sometimes an option if you need to get at apps that aren't in the official Google store. Even if apps are officially available through the normal route, you can always use this trick to access apps—Twitter, Facebook, and so on—that you don't necessarily want on your phone. If you're struggling to find something in the Google Play Store, see if there's an online version you can get at through your Android web browser.
Apple's iOS and iPadOS are much more tightly locked down than Android—Apple simply doesn't make it possible to sideload apps on its mobile operating systems in the same way that you can with Android.
