Quick Tip: How to View Your Google Play Purchase History

Did you know that even if you uninstall an app you purchased, you are still subscribed? Uninstalling the app doesn’t prevent you from reinstalling and using it again. But if you need clarification on whether you bought an app, you can clear that doubt by knowing how to view your Google Play purchase history. Keep reading to see how you can view your purchase history and remove some purchases so no one else accidentally sees it. You can also see how you can set a budget so you don’t spend too much and how you can edit or remove the budget.

How to View Your Google Play History on Your Computer

To check your Google Play history on your computer, click on your Google Play profile and Payments and Subscriptions. You’ll end up in the Payment Methods tab, but your purchase history will be in the Budget and order history tab.

At the top, you’ll see the total amount you spent in the current month. You won’t see purchases made on other accounts here if you have multiple accounts.

Below is your order history with t most recent purchase on top. You’ll see the app or service you purchased and the date. To the right, you’ll see the amount you were charged. There will also be a Report a Problem link you can click on to report any issues with the app. Any refunds will also appear here.

At the top right, you see a drop-down menu to view your purchase history in a specific order. For example, you can only see Apps, Movies and TV, Books, and All orders.

You can set a budget if you spend too much on Apps. To do this, click the Set Budget icon with a pencil. In the window that appears, enter the amount you don’t want to go over. Setting a budget will not stop you from buying the apps, but you’ll get a warning when you get close. After setting it, Google Play will show you how close you’re getting to your limit. If you ever want to remove the budget, there is a button to do that easily.

Like on your computer, you can remove or edit the budget anytime. Following these steps, you can check how close you’re to your limit.

Below is your order history with your purchased apps and the purchase date. You should also see the amount you paid for the apps.
