Apple Restores Gifting to the iOS App Store

Apple Restores Gifting to the iOS App Store

Posted December 14, 2012 at 6:26am by iClarified
Apple updated the iOS App Store to bring back gifting today.

To gift someone an app, simply navigate to its details page and tap the send button at the top right.

You can schedule the gift to arrive on a day of your choice - perhaps Christmas Day.


Take a look at the screenshots below...

Why isn't it showing up? The gifting icon is not there. Why not? How do you update the app store?

No. You have to pay for it if you gift a paid app to someone.

Not for the receiver, just the sender pays. Otherwise it wouldn't have been called 'Gifting'
