Are you tired of your search history cluttering up the Temu app? Do you want to keep your searches private or prevent others from accessing your browsing activity? If so, you’re in luck! Deleting search history in Temu is a quick and easy process that can be done in just a few simple steps. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to delete your Temu search history, ensuring your privacy and keeping your browsing experience clutter-free. Whether you’re a seasoned Temu user or a first-time visitor, this guide will empower you with the knowledge to effectively manage your search history and maintain your online privacy.
To begin, open the Temu app on your mobile device and navigate to the search bar located at the top of the screen. Once you’re in the search bar, tap on the “X” icon located on the right-hand side. This action will clear your recent search history and remove any items that may have been stored. However, it’s important to note that this only deletes the visible search history from the search bar. To thoroughly delete your entire search history, including any saved or suggested searches, you’ll need to follow the additional steps outlined in the next section.
Accessing the Search History
The first step in deleting search history on Temu is to access it. To do this, open the Temu app and tap on the search bar at the top of the screen. This bar is the quickest way to access the search history automatically upon tapping. The search bar will display a list of your recent searches.
If you want to view a more extensive history, tap on the “See all” button at the bottom of the list. An alternative way to access your search history is through the “Profile” tab. Tap on the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen, and you will see a tab with an icon of a magnifying glass, this is the search history tab.
Tapping on the magnifying glass icon will take you to the same screen as tapping on the search bar for search history access. Any of these methods can be used to access the search history to begin deletion.

Additional Considerations
Recent Searches
Temu does not have a dedicated option to clear recent searches. To remove individual search queries, tap and hold the entry in the search bar and select “Delete.” Alternatively, you can clear all your search history by following the steps outlined in the previous section.
Cookies
Cookies are small data files stored on your device that track your browsing activity. Temu uses cookies to improve your shopping experience by remembering your preferences and search history. If you’re concerned about privacy, you can clear your browser’s cookies. This will remove all saved search history and other tracking data. However, keep in mind that this may also impact your overall browsing experience on other websites.
Third-Party Tracking
Some third-party websites and apps may track your search history on Temu. To prevent this, you can use a privacy-focused browser or install browser extensions that block third-party trackers. Additionally, you can review Temu’s privacy policy to see how your data is being used and shared.
Incognito Mode
Incognito mode allows you to browse the internet privately. When enabled, your search history and other browsing data will not be saved locally. However, third-party websites and apps may still be able to track your activity. To browse Temu privately, open an incognito window in your browser.
VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a different server. This can help mask your IP address and location, making it more difficult for third parties to track your search history. Using a VPN can also unblock websites and content that may be restricted in your region.
Search History Duration
| Device | Search History Duration |
|---|---|
| Android | Saved indefinitely until manually cleared |
| iOS | Saved indefinitely until manually cleared |
| Web | Saved for 90 days after last activity |
Note that different browsers may have varying durations for storing search history.
