If you just formatted your android phone and you do not have a backup, but you want to install your previous games and apps from Google Play Store, you can still do so by viewing your app download history. But, make sure you will use the same email address that you used in Play Store before you reformat your android phone when you login to your device to be able to get all your apps.


To be exact, you will be able to view all of it since you first login that same Gmail address even from a different android phone. I mean, if you used the same email that you are currently using from a different phone before and that phone is already gone and you are using a new android, then, all the apps history from the first phone will be carried over to your new phone once you login the same email on it. Now, without further ado, lets start!


Here are the steps on how to view your app download history on Google Play Store


1. Open Play Store and login your Gmail address. Inside, press your Google account Profile picture (see image below) to view hidden menu.
