How to Archive Orders and View Archived Orders on Amazon App

When you make a lot of purchases on Amazon, your Orders page can quickly become cluttered with past orders. Luckily, the Amazon app allows you to archive orders to clear up this clutter while still letting you view the details of archived orders.

In this guide, I’ll explain how to archive Amazon orders using the mobile app on both iOS and Android devices. I’ll also cover how to view and search your archived order history.

Why Archive Amazon Orders?

Here are some of the key benefits of archiving past Amazon orders in the mobile app:

• Clean up your Orders page by hiding older purchases
• Quickly find recent orders without scrolling through everything
• Refer back to order details of archived orders when needed
• Look at your order history by time period based on when you archived
• Avoid accidental re-orders of purchases you’ve made before
• Keep meaningful orders easily accessible while tucking away others

Basically, archiving helps organize your order history while preserving access to order information.

Tips for Managing Archived Amazon Orders

Here are some useful tips for effectively managing archived orders:

• Archive older orders periodically to maintain a clean Orders page

• Favorite/label significant purchases you may want to re-order
