Where has Google now hidden the list of 'apps' you have downloaded on phone??

Featured Replies

To access this (as recently as yesterday!) , I use to just hit the '9 dot' icon on top right hand side of logged in google page. , then scroll to 'apps' then press, 'my apps'. There I would get a listing of all the apps I have down;loaded on to my SmartPhone. As of today, that option is no longer there - where have they moved it?



On the home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.  That should pull up all the apps you have in one move.

If you want to see them as a list, go to the settings cog (swipe down from the top, maybe twice) then go  to apps & notifications, then select all apps.

My fault - I should have clarified. I want access from my laptop to see more details of my apps on phone, I absolutely do not want to use the phone... Use to just open my browser, on the google page, and could access it all by hitting, 'play'.

Just found this screen shot of what the google, 'play' page looked like up to yesterday. On hitting, 'apps', then,'my apps' you use to get access to everything on your phone...

I can't help you I'm afraid as I don't really use a computer anymore but I am intrigued 🤔

You want to know what apps are on your phone but you don't want to use your phone. Correct? Or have I picked you up wrong?

Exactly, if you wanted to write a review of an app for example much easier using a laptop, or even just to browse deleted apps to see if there were new variants that were better. Loads of uses. I live on my laptop, phone is usually just a small sized nuisance!

Must admit, I didn't even know you could access apps from the laptop! :laugh: 

The play store functions on the app changed a few months ago too.  Checking for updates now takes 2 or 3 more taps than it used to...  I just wait for a push notification to update 20 or so at once now.

It's a really useful function Tom. Just log on to a google page on your laptop/computer, then hit the square 9 dot icon. Hit the 'play' function. Once in that page, then hit your 'profile' photo (the little roundel) top right, then you get a drop down menu. The one you want is, 'Library & devices'. That'll take you to all your phone installed apps...
