How to find and clear your browsing history on AliExpress
30.04.2024
AliExpress browsing and search history is a list of the products a shopper has browsed, as well as a list of search queries they have made on the marketplace platform. These features help shoppers keep track of their browsing and search history so they can easily return to the items or queries of interest in the future.
The browsing and search history can be useful for many purposes. For example, if you saw an item you liked but weren’t ready to make a purchase at the time, you can now find it in your browsing history or return to it later. Also, if you are looking for a particular product, the search history can help you quickly find it again without having to navigate through thousands of catalogue pages.
Our editorial team has found and researched all the available information on the subject, and is ready to share a detailed guide with our readers.

The browsing history on the website and the mobile app is automatically synchronised. That is, the products viewed on the website go into the history in the app and vice versa. To clear the browsing history of products in your account, follow the instructions for the website or mobile app.
It may take some time for the AliExpress recommendation system to change the list of recommended items based on your preferences. Look for new types of items more often so that the marketplace forgets about previous searches.
