One of the best thing about Android OS is that it let us install an app directly if we are having the APK file of that app or game. I have posted earlier how you can have the backup of your Android apps and transfer them on your computer.
Windows Phones are also getting popularity these days as major brands like Nokia is coming out with some high-end Windows Phones. Also, recently Microsoft announced the Windows Phone 8.1 which is going to bring lots of new features on Windows Phones. Hope it will help Microsoft in getting more Windows Phone users.
In this post, I am going to tell how you can have the backup of your Windows Phone app. You can use this method to reinstall all the Windows Phone apps and games if you format your phone or just want to install an app which you have installed previously and deleted later. Just follow the steps given below for that.
1. First of all, on your Windows Phone go to the Settings --> Find My Phone and allow the Push Notifications option.
2. Go to WindowsPhone.com and sign in to your Microsoft account which you are using on your Windows Phone device.
3. Now click on the top right menu and from the dropdown list, click on the Purchase History.
4. On the next page, you will find the list of all the apps and games which you have installed so far on your Windows Phone in the order of the dates on which you have installed them.
5. Click on the “Reinstall” link in the front of the app which you would like to download again on your device.
6. The new page will show you a confirmation message. Just check the confirmation box to accept it and then click on the Reinstall button.
One more confirmation page will appear which will tell you that the app is sent to your Windows Phone device and it will be downloaded via push notification automatically.
You can go back and reinstall more Windows Phone apps and games from your Purchase History page anytime you want. By this way, you can have the backup of your Windows Phone apps, games etc and you can easily install them once again on your device.
