Quick answer

Go to bing.com/profile/history, or on bing.com open the menu (☰) and select Search history. Sign in with your Microsoft account to see searches from all your devices; signed out, you only see what this browser saved.

Bing keeps a list of what you've searched so you can find it again and so it can tailor suggestions. Checking it takes a few seconds on any device.

On a computer

  1. Go to bing.com.
  2. Select the menu icon (☰) or the settings icon at the top right.
  3. Choose Search history.

Search history is in the menu at the top right of bing.com.

Or type bing.com/profile/history straight into the address bar.

On a phone

Open bing.com/profile/history in any mobile browser. In the Microsoft Bing app, look under your profile or Settings for your history. Sign in with the same Microsoft account to see searches made on your computer too.

The complete list in your Microsoft account

The Microsoft privacy dashboard shows the full record saved to your account, with the date and how many times you ran each search. It's also where you download or clear it.

Nothing there?

An empty page usually means you're signed out, signed in with a different account, or history is turned off. Walk through the checks in Bing search history not showing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see Bing history from another device?

Yes, if both devices were signed in to the same Microsoft account. Searches made while signed out stay on the browser they were made on.

Does Bing history show the websites I visited?

It shows your searches. Pages you opened are kept in your browser's history, not in Bing's.

Can someone else check my Bing history?

Anyone who can use your signed-in browser or knows your Microsoft account password can. See who can see your Bing searches.
