So by now, everyone should know about the drama between Epic Games, Apple, and Google. More specifically Epic and Apple as the two are even challenging each other legally.

Epic Games even created an advert promoting a "Free Fortnite" hashtag in response to Apple taking Fortnite off the Apple App Store. Last Thursday, Epic Games reduced the price of V-Bucks by up to 20% on all platforms as a way to circumvent royalty charges of Apple's App Store and the Google Play store. But the problem starts and ends on mobile.

Apple was not keen on the idea and removed the game from Apple App Store, but there is a way to still get the game, as long as you have had it downloaded before.

How to Still Get Fortnite on Your iOS Device Even After Apple Removed It

Go to the "My Purchases" section of the App Store which can be found by clicking your account button or even your avatar. Then tap "Purchased" to find all the apps you've ever downloaded, even the free ones like Fortnite. Type in Fortnite if it doesn't pop up and all you have to do is click the cloud icon to start the downloading process.

Make sure to have room as the game is a whopping 10GB which is massive for most phones. But even after all of this, you can still play the game. That includes people who never un-downloaded the game. They've been able to play this whole time.
