Hi guys,

Just have a simple question hopefully someone has experience with this.

If I delete an app on my device (by accident or on purpose) is there a way to get the app back with the data saved from iCloud inside of it? I know I have to do a full iCloud restore but I want to know, will iCloud also restore deleted apps or will they not restore deleted apps since my device shows that the app isn't installed any longer?

I ask this because I notice this when I delete an app:

Under manage storage -> iCloud -> My Device -> It still shows the green check box for the app I just deleted. So in theory iCloud still has this data on the cloud backup. I wonder if I restored my phone will it also restore this deleted app on my device like I had never deleted it, or will it only restore the apps that it sees currently on the device even though it still has this old data backed up?
