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.

  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.

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.

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.
