Apple Quietly Tweaked the iOS App Store App – Here's What's Changed

Source: MacRumors

What Changed

• In the App Store app, tap your profile picture in the top‑right corner.
• The “Apps & Purchase History” tab, which used to be at the top of the list, has swapped places with “Updates.”
• The Updates tab is now labeled “App Updates.”

The change was rolled out by Apple without a visible software update and appears on both iOS 26.4.1 and the iOS 26.5 beta.

Quick Access to App Updates

A faster way to open the App Updates page in iOS 26.4 was highlighted by Daring Fireball’s John Gruber:

• Long‑press the App Store icon on your Home Screen.
• Choose App Updates from the contextual menu that appears.
