Often we find the headlines "Apple removes applications with the iPhone" or "How to prevent the removal of applications from the iPhone". From them it seems that the application may disappear from your device, let's figure it out if this is realistic.

All you download from the App Store you are actually "buying". Even if the application extends for "free" it has a price equal to "0".

A few years ago, when the applications understood the advantages of "subscription" Apple faced a problem. The first version of the application was sold, and the second version of the application was distributed by subscription. There were few differences and most developers wanted to get rid of the first application. But Apple provided for and did not allow you to remove the application from the device. Moreover, you can find any application in the "Purchases" section. Agree - fair.

So remains today. The application may disappear from your iPhone in two cases: you have not used it for a long time or you removed it by mistake.

In the first case, it is a unloading - this is a special iOS mechanism that deleys the application, if you do not use it for a long time, in order to save memory.

Settings - AppStore - unused unused

The second method is random. The application can remove the child.

To prohibit the removal of applications

Go to “Settings” and open “screen time” - “content and confidentiality” - “purchases on iTunes and App Store” - “Removing applications” select “No”.

How everything works in the App Store

The developer, placing its product in the Apple application store, you download it.

The application can delete the developer or make changes to the list of countries for which it is placed. But it can only remove it from the App Store. The downloaded application is yours. Yes, if the application does not receive an update, it may stop starting, but for this it is normal.

The AppStore can delete the application card, but again, the application on your device is yours.

No one can withdraw the application from you. From experience, the application may work until you move from iOS 15 to iOS 16, but in the framework of the iOS on which it was downloaded, the application will continue to work. If the developer himself does not stop his support, as happened with VTB.

It is important to clarify the VTB application - a banking application that gives access to your money. Leaving it without updates is not safe. Therefore, yes, I believe that all banking applications of banks who have fallen under sanctions will soon stop their work.
