You probably have more apps assigned to you at work than you can name. But finding them all in one place doesn’t mean digging through emails or asking IT — Microsoft’s My Apps portal collects every app your organization has given you access to, all in a single browser page. According to Microsoft Support (official help documentation), the portal provides a central hub for work or school apps with single sign-on.

How do I find all my apps?

Why this matters

Enterprise users with 12 or more assigned apps often lose track. The My Apps portal eliminates the manual hunt — everything appears in one authenticated browser page.

Finding apps on Android

  • Swipe up from the home screen to open the app drawer (Google Support (Android help)).
  • Use the search bar at the top of the drawer to locate a specific app.
  • Third-party app managers like “My Apps” on Google Play list every installed app with permissions (Google Play Store).

Finding apps on Windows 11

  • Click the Start button and select “All apps” to see a scrollable alphabetical list (Microsoft Support (Windows help)).
  • Unpinned apps remain accessible via Start > All apps — they are not deleted.

Finding apps in Microsoft My Apps portal

  • Go to myapplications.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft work or school account (Microsoft Support).
  • The Apps page displays all assigned apps in grid or list view.
  • Use the search filter to sort by category or name.
Bottom line: Microsoft My Apps portal is the single-pane-of-glass for enterprise app discovery. Regular users: use Start or app drawer. IT admins: configure the portal for self-service app addition.

Where can I see all installed apps?

On mobile devices

  • Android: Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps to view every installed app (Google Support).
  • iOS: Use the App Library by swiping left from the last home screen page.

On desktop computers

  • Windows: Settings > Apps > Installed apps provides a sortable list (Microsoft Support (Windows settings)).
  • macOS: Open the Applications folder or Launchpad.

In enterprise portals

  • The Microsoft My Apps portal displays all assigned work apps in one browser page (Microsoft Support).
  • ClassLink My Apps provides a similar dashboard for educational institutions (ClassLink (education portal)).
  • MTU Student MyApps gives secure access to campus apps and Office 365 (MTU IT Services (university IT department)).

The pattern: personal devices use OS-level app lists, while enterprise environments use dedicated portals. The Microsoft Learn (enterprise admin guide) explains that administrators can deploy add-ins, agents, and apps visible through the Apps page inside Office apps.

How do I access my apps?

Accessing via web browser

  • Navigate to myapplications.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft work or school account (Microsoft Support).
  • Single sign-on (SSO) reduces repeated logins across apps.

Accessing via mobile app

  • The My Apps mobile app for Android is available on Google Play (Google Play Store).
  • Not available for iOS; iOS users access via browser.

Accessing via desktop app

  • Users can pin My Apps to the taskbar for quick access.
  • In Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, open the Home ribbon, select Add-ins, then + More Add-ins to reach the Apps page (Microsoft Learn).
  • In Outlook, use the left-hand App Bar > More Apps, or the Home ribbon > More Apps (Microsoft Learn).
The catch

The web version requires an active internet connection. Offline access is not supported — apps listed in My Apps are web-based or require local installation.

How do I get my apps back on my screen?

Restoring missing app icons on Android

  • Check if apps are hidden in the app drawer or disabled in Settings > Apps (Google Support).
  • Reinstall accidentally deleted apps from the Play Store.

Restoring missing app icons on iPhone

  • Use the App Library to find hidden apps — swipe left on the last home screen page.
  • Search for the app in Spotlight and drag it back to the home screen.

Restoring missing app icons on Windows

  • Unpinned apps remain in the Start menu under “All apps” (Microsoft Support).
  • Enterprise apps missing from the My Apps portal may need IT admin to reassign (Microsoft Support).

How do I see the full list of apps?

Full list on Android

  • Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps for a complete list (Google Support).

Full list on Windows

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps for a scrollable list (Microsoft Support (Windows settings)).

Full list in My Apps portal

  • The portal lists all assigned applications in grid or list view (Microsoft Support).
  • Use the search filter to sort by category or name.
  • If allowed, users can add self-service apps by selecting “Add self-service apps” on the Apps page (Microsoft Support). Some self-service apps require administrator approval before appearing (Microsoft Support).

Confirmed Facts vs. What’s Unclear

Confirmed facts

  • Microsoft My Apps portal is accessible at myapplications.microsoft.com (Microsoft Support)
  • Android users can view all apps via Settings > Apps > See all apps (Google Support)
  • ClassLink My Apps requires school credentials (ClassLink)
  • Google Play “My Apps” app lists all installed Android apps (Google Play Store)

What’s unclear

  • Number of third-party apps using “My Apps” branding (Google Play Store shows only one official app)
  • Exact percentage of Microsoft 365 users who use the portal daily (no public data)

The My Apps portal lets users access work or school apps that their organization has made available to them.

Secure access to campus applications and Office 365 for students and staff.

MTU IT Services (university IT department)

For Microsoft 365 enterprise users, the choice is clear: use the My Apps portal as your main dashboard for accessing assigned apps, but remember that it requires internet access and organizational credentials. For personal devices, rely on the operating system’s native app lists. The Microsoft Learn (enterprise admin guide) emphasizes that administrators control which apps appear, so any missing corporate apps should be raised with IT.

For iPhone users, the process begins at the Apple App Store guide, which provides step-by-step instructions for locating and downloading apps on iOS devices.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between My Apps and the Start menu?

The Start menu lists locally installed applications on your Windows device. My Apps is a web portal that lists apps assigned by your organization, including cloud-based apps that are not installed on your computer. (Microsoft Support)

Does My Apps work offline?

No, the My Apps portal requires an internet connection because it is a web-based service. You cannot access the portal or its apps without connectivity. (Microsoft Support)

Can I customize the layout of my My Apps portal?

The portal offers a grid view and a list view, but individual customization options are limited. Administrators can configure the appearance for all users in the organization. (Microsoft Learn)

How do I add a new app to My Apps?

If your administrator allows self-service, go to the Apps page and select “Add self-service apps.” Some apps require admin approval before they appear. (Microsoft Support)

Is My Apps available for personal Microsoft accounts?

No, the My Apps portal is only for work or school accounts associated with a Microsoft 365 or Azure AD organization. Personal Microsoft accounts (like Outlook.com) cannot use it. (Microsoft Support)

What should I do if an app does not appear in My Apps?

First, check with your IT administrator to confirm the app has been assigned to you. If it is assigned but still missing, try refreshing the page or signing out and back in. (Microsoft Support)

How do I remove an app from My Apps?

You cannot remove apps from the portal yourself — control is on the admin side. If you see an app you no longer need, contact your IT administrator to revoke access. (Microsoft Learn)
