Where Did the Archive Button Go? What Your Amazon Order History Looks Like Now
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Q1: Did Amazon permanently delete my previously archived orders?
Amazon did not delete any historical purchase records. The company simply removed the dedicated filter view. Your past transactions remain saved on backend servers and appear when you run a keyword or date-range search inside the main order directory.
Q2: Can I hide a single order on the mobile app?
No. Neither the iOS nor Android versions of the Amazon app support hiding or archiving individual purchases. Every transaction processed under your login will display on the primary orders tab of that specific account.
Q3: Does setting up an Amazon Household cost extra money?
No. Amazon Household is included at no additional charge with standard Prime memberships. It allows two adults, up to four teens, and up to four children to share a single Prime membership while retaining separate personal logins.
Q4: Will turning off Alexa delivery notifications hide notifications on my phone?
No. Alexa voice announcements operate independently from smartphone push notifications. To silence phone alerts, you must modify your notification preferences directly inside your mobile device system settings.
