Almost everyone who owns an Apple device has purchases on their Apple account. It could be music, apps, or something else. However, sometimes you may need to delete your Apple purchase history. Apple keeps a history of all your purchases so that you can download them again if you need to.
You may just not want anyone else to be able to see your purchase history. Or you may just want to hide your Apple purchase so that it doesn’t constantly show up in front of your eyes.
