What to Know

Select the search box to see your recent Reddit search history.View browsing history in the app through Menu > History.Find Reddit browsing history under Recent posts on the desktop site's home page. This article shows how to find the various history lists in your Reddit account, including search history, browsing history, and other past posts you've engaged with. These directions work for both a browser on the desktop and in the mobile app.

Does Reddit Keep Search History

Your search history is simply a list of keywords you used when searching Reddit. The list is stored on the website, the official app and probably your browser. Select the search box at the top of Reddit to view recent searches. If you've been using Reddit's website, but you can't find your search history, look in your web browser's history. This is explained at the bottom of this page.

How Long Does Your History Stay on Reddit

When you use Reddit's desktop website, search history and browsing history remain available until you manually delete it or until you log out of your account. It will not stick around if you log out, nor will it reappear in your account when you log back in. Unlike the website, signing out does not flush the app's browsing and search history. So, if you enter a few search terms and visit some posts, and then log out of your account, they will show back up again the next time you log in through the app, and will remain until you manually delete them. Whether you use the app or the website, post and comment history remain available to the public indefinitely. They are deleted only if you or a moderator delete them (but even then, it's technically just archived, so comments made by other users remain). Even closing your whole Reddit account won't clear out your data, but will instead disassociate it with you, replacing your username with [deleted].

How to View Your Browsing History on Reddit

Both the desktop version and mobile app store some amount of your history.

View Your History in the Website

The desktop version of Reddit shows the five posts you most recently engaged with. These are listed on the site's home page, under RECENT POSTS in the right sidebar. To see more than those five, you'll need to check your browser's history.

View Your History in the Reddit Mobile App

To view your browsing history in the app, select the menu/profile icon at the top-right, and then choose History from the list of options. Make sure Recent is chosen from the top-left, so you see recently-viewed posts. Unlike the website, the app shows more than five posts.

Your Browser Stores Reddit History Too

Your search history, browsing history, and more are stored in the browser's history as well (depending on the browser, since not all of them store history). For example, view your browser search history to look through your Reddit search history. Just search for this:
reddit.com: search results Reddit searches listed in Chrome history. Or, modify the search to find what else you've looked up on Reddit, such as posts or users: reddit.com\r\ reddit.com\u\ FAQ How do I delete my Reddit search history? In the app, tap the search bar to pull up recent things you've looked for. Select the X to the right of each item to remove it. The Reddit website also option this option. You can also clear your browser data. How do I erase my Reddit history? Clearing your Reddit history means removing all of your posts and comments. To do so on the website without deleting your entire profile, click your username in the upper-right corner, and then select Profile. Use the Posts and Comments tabs to see everything you've posted, and then click the three-dot menu and choose Delete. In the app, the directions are the same, but you'll tab your profile image in the upper-right instead of your username. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
