How to explore topics and clear recent searches
Follow trending topics and manage your Explore search history.
Where to find it: Explore › Topics
How to
- Open the Topics tab to see trending terms and hashtags.
- Tap a term to load related posts or search for a specific topic.
- When you focus the search field, recent searches may appear as shortcuts.
- Remove an individual item or tap Clear to erase that Explore area's history.
Rules and what happens next
- Topics gathers terms and hashtags. Tapping a term filters related conversations without stalking every author or adding titles to history.
- Clear erases recent-search shortcuts in that area; it is not deleting ratings, posts or account data.
Common problems
- Search returns in another tab: open that area’s field and clear its items there.
- Topic shows unwanted content: check blocked words and use Report for violations; clearing searches does not filter new posts.
