When you download something from the iTunes, Books or App Store, an invoice is always created, regardless of whether the app was free or paid. A few days later you will receive the invoice by email. Over the years you build up a purchase history. Your Apple Music subscription, iCloud storage and other services are also part of this history.
It is possible to directly view your purchase history and invoices via your iPhone, iPad or Mac. This way you can see at a glance which apps, but also films, books and services, you have ever purchased, even your very first app. You can also resend your invoices this way, so that you can print them if necessary.
