How to Clear Reddit History and Keep Your Browsing Private [With Images]

Listen to the Podcast:

Reddit is one of the most used platforms or forums worldwide. Millions of publications or questions are asked daily, as well as comments and answers. This means many users can search for certain doubts, interests, or problems to participate in the available threads.

However, these searches made on Reddit will be stored in your profile, creating what is known as search history. Fortunately, if you want to get rid of Reddit’s search history, you can do it.

You can search for anything in the Reddit app or the browser version. The platform will show the search results closest to the term used. But also, the search carried out will be stored in your Reddit user account. All search terms used in Reddit will be stored in the Search History of the platform.

Unfortunately, this Reddit search history is not to the users’ liking when interpreting that this could be a privacy failure if someone accesses their Reddit profile. Unfortunately, Reddit’s search history cannot be disabled. However, you can empty or delete Reddit search history.

Reddit allows users to delete specific searches from Reddit search history or clear history completely.

Be that as it may, in this tutorial, we will show you how to clear Reddit history from the mobile app for Android, iPhone, or the Web version.
