Do you want to play Fortnite on your iPhone or iPad? Apparently, it is no longer necessary to spend 8,000 euros for an iPhone with Fortnite. There is a little trick that allows us to download the Epic Games video game, even if it is not available in the App Store. Apple decided to remove Fortnite from its app store for violating App Store policy. Specifically, Epic added a direct payment method within the game, something that is prohibited in the main application stores, since this way they skip the 30 percent commission. In this article I explain step by step how you can download Fortnite on iPhone or iPad even if it is no longer in the App Store.
First of all, it is essential that you meet one of the requirements to be able to download Fortnite on iOS: that you have downloaded it previously. It does not matter if you no longer have it installed, the only thing that is necessary is that the game has been downloaded through your App Store account, either on your iPhone, iPad or another device.
Why is this requirement necessary? Because the only way to download Fortnite on iOS is by reinstalling the application. Apple stores in a section all the apps that have been purchased (whether paid or free apps) with our Apple ID. In this way, we can have control over all those apps that we have ever installed and reinstall them if necessary. An interesting point is that the App Store also allows us to download applications already purchased on other devices. For example, our iPad or a friend's iPhone if we have used our account.
If you have activated the option of 'Family Sharing' of Appl e and a member of the group has downloaded Fortnite on their iPhone or iPad, you can also download the game. You just have to check that the 'Share applications' option is activated. To do this, go to the settings, click on your Apple ID and click on the option 'In Family'. Next, click on 'Share purchases' and allow the option. This can only be done by the group administrator.
The steps to download Fortnite on iOS
Now, how do you download Fortnite on iPhone or iPad? It is very simple. We just have to go to the App Store. We click on our account. We have to click on the icon in the upper area. The menu of our account will open and we must click on 'Purchased'. Then click on 'My purchases' . A list of all the apps downloaded to your iPhone will appear. You just have to type 'Fortnite' in the search engine. When the application appears, you can click on the cloud button and the game will download. Also, if you click on the icon you will access the application page in the App Store.
Does Fortnite work correctly? For the moment, yes. The application continues to function normally for those users who already had it downloaded or for users who have used this method to reinstall Fortnite. Of course, it is unknown what will happen in the coming days or weeks, when it is necessary to update the game for a change of season. In addition, Apple will eliminate the developer license to Epic Games, which will make the developer's games that are currently available in the App Store not downloadable and that they will stop working within the iPhone. We will see how this war between Epic Games and the Apple App Store progresses.
