Search Your Apple Account Purchase History on iPhone

[MacRumors]

In an age of digital ubiquity, knowing how to easily keep track of your online transactions is crucial, especially as an Apple user who frequently downloads apps, music, movies, and more from various Apple services.

Your Apple Account purchase history is a comprehensive log of all the content you've bought using your account, not just on your iPhone, but across all your Apple devices. Knowing how to access this information on your device can give you valuable insights into your digital spending habits, help you manage your subscriptions, or even assist in troubleshooting or disputing unauthorized purchases.

So whether you're trying to keep a budget, ensure that your family's purchases are appropriate, or simply curious about when you bought that app or movie, here's how to view your Apple Account purchase history on an iPhone or iPad logged into your account.

View Purchase History in Settings

1. Open the Settings app and tap your Apple Account banner at the top.
2. Tap Media & Purchases.
3. Tap View Account in the popup and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID.
4. Scroll down and tap Purchase History.

You are now viewing the purchase history for this Apple Account across all the devices tied to the account. If you are looking for a specific purchase, you can use the search field at the top to enter a name, price, or order ID.

If you tap the blue text next to "Showing:" you can also filter the history by date range, price, and purchase type.

View Purchase History in App Store

In iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4 or later, you can access the same purchase history a little bit faster via the App Store app on iPhone and iPad.

Simply tap your account profile in the top-right corner, then tap Purchase History and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID when prompted.

Thanks for this information, Sometimes trying to do your due diligence on purchases and subscriptions, it can be daunting to find

I would love to see this extended to hardware purchases too. Some of this info is available on the Apple ID site but I'd like to see a comprehensive list on the phone.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use Apple Pay function. I have on several occasions bought something to just try it out (or in some cases the ChatGPT subscription has landed on a closed mail account and it cannot be restored on ChatGPT) and when i have requested a refund from Apple I have been declined. I have appeal every decision but still getting declined, and of course the classic no reasoning to why has been given.

I don’t have the exact figures in my head but it’s somewhere between 150-200 USD.
In my eyes Apple is a bunch of thieves and they cannot be trusted.

Is there anyway to download the purchase list?

Sadly I cannot find a way to search every year all at once. I could only search a single year at a time for a specific app. Maybe I'm missing something.

Good article. Have used it in the past. Useful. However I feel that the search feature could be improved.

Always the same with Apple in settings, simple things are often very difficult or impossible to do.

I don’t think you’re missing anything. You used to be able to search all of your purchases at once but now they’ve made it a PITA for no reason.

But if you go into: App Store > Account (your profile pic in the upper right corner) > Apps you can search through the full list of any app you’ve ever downloaded. If you’re using Family Sharing, you’ll see a separate list for each person in the family.
