If there are several members of the same family who usually make purchases on Amazon , it is common for them to share the same account, mainly to save money on the Prime subscription. But this can be a problem when someone is about to give a gift or wants to buy something more or less intimate. Therefore, it may be interesting to know how to hide an Amazon order from the application .
In an attempt to help us maintain maximum privacy, Amazon allows us to hide an order at any time so that it is not directly visible in the listing. The problem is that this option is not available in the mobile phone application. Although in the app we can do practically the same thing as in the web version, the reality is that this specific action of archiving an order so that anyone who can enter it stops seeing it is one of the few that is not available in said application .
What’s more, this possibility is not even available on the mobile version of the Amazon website . Therefore, in the event that you want to hide an order from your smartphone because you do not have a PC at hand, you will have to look in your browser for the option to access the desktop version of a website instead of the mobile version. In this way we can do on our device the same as you would on the PC.
How to archive orders from the Amazon app so they don’t appear
Since we cannot archive orders from the Amazon application so that they do not appear , we are going to teach you how to do it from the web version.
The process is fairly simple. All you have to do is log in with your Amazon account and go to the list with the orders you have made. You will see that at the bottom of each of the orders there is a button that says Archive order . You will only have to click on it and, after accepting the confirmation message that appears in the image, the order will no longer appear in the main list.
You can archive both orders that are still in progress and those that you have already received. In fact, the option to archive orders can be a way to “clean up” the tray of orders a bit so that you can find the ones you are waiting for or those that may need a return a little easier. But keep in mind that you can archive a maximum of 500 orders , so if you use Amazon very often we do not recommend that you archive all the orders you make.
How to delete Amazon purchase history
If you don’t want to archive an order but are wondering how to delete your Amazon purchase history , we’re sorry to say it’s not possible.
Once we have placed an order on Amazon, that order will be registered in our account forever. We can hide it as we have explained in the previous section, but we can always access them if, within our account, we go to My archived orders . There we can see all the orders that you have hidden in the usual list, but they will not be completely deleted.
Therefore, in the event that you share your Amazon account with other people, you must bear in mind that your privacy when making purchases will never be total. If the other person knows a little about the web, she will always have the possibility of finding what you have recently bought. Therefore, if you want to keep it completely hidden, the only options you have are either to create a new account for more private orders or to ask someone else to make the purchase for you.
