where did the ability to archive orders on amazon go
Amazon appears to have removed the Archive Order option for many accounts, so the button may no longer show up where older guides say it should. Recent reports say the feature was discontinued in 2025, and Amazon has been pointing users toward separate account setups like Amazon Family instead.
What changed
- Older instructions said you could archive from Your Orders on desktop.
- Newer reports say that option has been removed or no longer works for many users.
- Some previously archived orders may now show up again in regular order history.
What to use instead
- Use Amazon Family or another separate account arrangement if you want order histories kept apart.
- For gift shopping, consider changing notification settings and hiding browsing history so purchases are less obvious.
Where to look now
If your account still has the feature, it would normally be under Returns & Orders on desktop, with an Archived Orders filter in the orders menu. But if you do not see that option, it is likely been removed from your account.
TL;DR
The archive-orders feature didn’t move so much as get removed for many Amazon users in 2025.
