Luckily, there's a simple way to hide your recent Amazon orders from those in your household.
It starts with setting up an Amazon Household account. It's free and keeps all of the adult's order histories private.
Amazon Householdis a feature that lets you share numerous benefits-including free Prime delivery, Prime Video streaming access, Amazon photos and album sharing, and early access to Lightning Deals-with another adult, teens, and children, helping you make the most of your Prime membership.
How to hide your Amazon orders with Amazon Household
The best way to keep your orders a secret would be to set up Amazon Household. It's a free service that lets you share many Amazon features with up to six people in the same household (two adults and up to four teens or children). Everyone gets their own sign-on, so adults can order in private, while teen orders need to be approved by an adult. Kids under 13 can't shop on their own at all. The bottom line is that if you use Amazon Household, all adult orders are automatically private from everyone else in the home.
