The ability to remove purchase history within a digital distribution platform for mobile applications involves concealing specific previously acquired applications from the user’s purchase list. As an example, a user might wish to hide an application that is no longer relevant or desired on their account, preventing it from appearing in the ‘Purchased’ section of the store.
This function offers a degree of privacy and organizational control for users. Hiding purchases can simplify the appearance of the purchase history, especially for users who have accumulated a large number of applications over time. Previously, this level of control was not available, leading to cluttered purchase lists and potentially revealing user preferences to others accessing their account.
