How do I hide movies on my iPad? I purchased a movie that was graphic and violent (didn't realize this when I bought it) and want the reference removed from my iPad. Other family members may watch movies on my iPad. (I can't be the only one with this issue...) Thanks!

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

While you can hide the purchased content from view, you cannot completely remove record of the purchase from your AppleID account.


Perhaps consider that unlike other computers with which you may be familiar - that support multiple user profiles - other than within “managed” educational environments, iOS/iPadOS devices are essentially single-user devices that are not intended to be shared. Where an AppleID or single-user device is shared between Users, all data and sensitive information (such as browsing and purchase history) will be visible to all sharers.


If you need to keep personal or sensitive information away from visibility of others, you will need to use separate devices. You can still selectively share material, but potentially sensitive information (such as Password and “accidental” purchase history) will remain out-of-sight.
