IOS – How to locate 32 bit apps in iOS 13

32-bitapplicationsios

I know that 32-bit applications do not run on iOS since iOS 11. Prior to iOS 13, attempting to start a 32-bit application resulted in an

“This app” Needs To Be Updated

alert. Now the screen becomes black for some seconds, and then the lock screen (where you have to enter your code or Touch ID) appears.

So I thought this might be a good time to remove all remaining 32-bit apps from my device. But how to find them all? Prior to iOS 13, “Settings > General > About > Applications” listed all incompatible apps. That list does not exist anymore.

Is there an alternative method to list all 32-bit applications, so that I can delete them?

Here is a possible solution. It is not as convenient as the “Settings > General > About > Applications” list (which does not exist anymore), but allows to determine all 32-bit (or otherwise incompatible) apps without launching all installed apps and check if they crash:

  • Open the “App Store” app and tap on the user profile icon:

  • Select “Purchased”:

  • Scroll through the app list. The incompatible ones have a grayed-out “Open” button:
