Does Reddit Store Search History?
Explore endless communities, share stories, memes, and news with Reddit.
Your search history is merely a compilation of the keywords you employed while conducting searches on Reddit. This list is saved on the Reddit website, the official Reddit app, and likely also within your web browser. To view your recent searches, click on the search box located at the top of the Reddit interface.
Note:If you've been accessing Reddit via its website and are unable to locate your search history on Reddit itself, then check the history of your web browser. The details regarding this are provided at the bottom of this page.
How Long Does Your History Stay on Reddit?
When using Reddit's desktop website, your search history and browsing history will stay accessible unless you manually delete them or log out of your account. Once you log out, the history won't persist, and it won't show up again in your account when you log back in.
In contrast to the website, logging out of the Reddit app does not clear its browsing and search history. So, if you input some search terms and visit certain posts and then log out of your account, those search terms and visited posts will reappear the next time you log in through the app and will remain there until you manually delete them.
Regardless of whether you use the app or the website, your post and comment history will be publicly available indefinitely. They are only removed if you or a moderator deletes them (however, even then, technically they are just archived, so comments made by other users still exist). Even if you close your entire Reddit account, your data won't be cleared. Instead, it will be disassociated from you, and your username will be replaced with [deleted].
How to View Your Browsing History on Reddit
Both the desktop iteration and the mobile application store a certain quantity of your history.
View Your History in the Website
The desktop edition of Reddit displays the five posts with which you have most recently interacted. These are presented on the site's homepage, within the "RECENT POSTS" section located in the right sidebar. If you wish to view more than those five posts, you will have to review your browser's history.
View Your History in the Reddit Mobile App
To access your browsing history within the app, tap on the menu/profile icon positioned at the top - right corner. Subsequently, select "History" from the list of available options. Ensure that "Recent" is selected from the top - left corner. This will enable you to view the posts you have recently visited. In contrast to the website, the app has the capability to display more than five posts in the browsing history.
Where to Find Other Reddit History
Your account contains far more than just search and browsing history. You can also access a record of all of the following:
The posts you have created
The comments you have posted
The posts and comments you have saved and hidden
The posts you have upvoted and downvoted
The awards you have received and given
Additional History on Reddit's Website
On Reddit.com, click on your username located at the top - right corner, and then select "Profile" to gain access to all those details. Simply select the relevant tab to view the corresponding history.
Additional History in the Reddit Mobile App
In the app, tap on your profile image icon at the top - right. Within that menu, there are three options which can direct you to various types of history lists.
Select "History", and then make a choice among "Recent", "Upvoted", "Downvoted", and "Hidden" at the top - left. Your post and comment history is stored in the "My profile" section. The items you've saved are stored in the "Saved" menu option.
Your browser also stores Reddit history.
Your search history, browsing history, and other relevant data are also saved within the browser's history (this may vary depending on the specific browser you're using, as not all browsers have the function of storing history).
For instance, to review your Reddit search history, you can check your browser's search history. All you need to do is search for the following:
