Redeem now - You can access your Amazon browsing history, and make changes, on the "Browsing History" page of the site.
- On the Amazon Shopping app, you can view and change your browsing history in "Account."
- You can also turn off tracking in the same locations as you would to clear your browsing history.
If you're trying to find a gift for someone who has access to your Amazon account, your browsing history can be a dead giveaway.
However, you do have the option to clear your history or delete individual items from it — as well as the ability to turn off tracking — through your account.
Here's what you need to know to get it done.

How to delete Amazon browsing history
You can delete items in your browsing history one by one, or you can delete all items at once.
On desktop:
1. Go to the Amazon website and log in to your account, if necessary.
2. Hover your cursor over Accounts & Lists at the top-right of the page and click Browsing History in the drop-down.
3. Your history will appear on the next page.
4. If you want to remove individual items from your history, click the Remove from view button next to the items you want to remove.
5. To clear your browsing history, click the down-arrow next to Manage history in the top-right and select the Remove all items from view button.
On mobile:
1. Open the Amazon Shopping app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android and log in, if needed.
2. Tap the profile icon in the bottom menu.
3. Select Your Account.
4. Scroll down to the Personalized Content section and tap Browsing History.
5. You'll see your browsing history on the next page.
6. To delete individual items, tap Remove from view.
7. To clear your history, tap Manage and then Remove all items from view.
Quick tip: You can also archive orders to hide them from view in your order history if, for example, you buy a gift for someone who has access to your account. You can't delete them outright, though, because vendors are required to keep records of sales.
