Question How to check every app I downloaded on my android over the years?

[Rangerman]

I know many people suggest on checking the google play store's library but it doesn't show *every* app I have downloaded. I was recommended to use google takeout and while it does show more apps, it's not 100% accurate, like how some apps are said to be downloaded on later dates, even though I clearly recall downloading them much earlier. Any recommendation?

Welcome to Android Central forums. Now back in the day before the Play Store when it was just the Android Market you could see every app you ever installed from the beginning of time. At some point I think that may have changed. I'm not sure how it works these days but to see the apps associated with your account that are no longer installed on your device can still be seen.

This won't show you dates so if you're just trying to reminisce about old apps, Open the Play Store>Touch your profile picture>Manage apps & device>Manage (tab @ top)>in the first box touch Installed>Select Not installed, and this will show you as far back in time as Google is recording. Truthfully I can't tell how far back it goes since I'm using a replacement gmail account from my very first one.

Best wishes

Thanks for the suggestion. Unofrtunately, it still doesn't show every uninstalled apps. For example, two of earliest android apps I've downloded back in 2015 were memedroid and prop hunt. Using either google takeout or library don't show the desired results. Not sure if whatever changed google did is what caused a lot of the apps to not show.

Again I mentioned that I didn't think it still showed every app but something that occurred to me after reading your statement was, would they show apps that are no longer available? What would be the purpose of showing something that's not in the store, lost support, or got pulled for other reasons, just something to also consider.

To view all the apps you've downloaded on your Android, just open the Google Play Store, tap the menu icon, select "My apps & games," and head over to the "Library" tab. This will give you a full list of all apps tied to your Google account, even the ones you don't have installed right now.

I've been trying to remember and find a certain app I've downloaded. There are some apps that are no longer available that I managed to find on my history, such as Lords of the Dragon and Ninjump, though not all of them. It's why I'm curious if the app I'm trying to find was removed. Even then, there's also some other apps that don't appear, even though they're still in the store, like for example Mobile Legends, and I'm not sure if that's a bug or not.

Could you have gotten "mobile legends" from someplace else? Amazon used to offer free apps every week, or everyday, I don't remember which, probably week, buy anyway, I know I have apps in my history that wouldn't show up on the Play Store because I got them from another source.

What device is this? If it's Samsung you might've gotten the apps from Galaxy Store.
