We’ve all been there: you log 10 straight ranked losses trying out a new hero, and the first thing your squad does when you log on is roast you for your 32% win rate with that marksman. Or you’re a casual player who doesn’t want random strangers from public lobbies snooping on your match stats to judge your skill level before you even queue up. If either of these sounds familiar, you’ve probably wondered how to hide Mobile Legends history to keep your gameplay activity private. We’ve tested every official privacy setting available in the game right now, so we can walk you through exactly what works, what doesn’t, and what risks you need to avoid when adjusting your account settings.
Common Reasons Players Hide Their MLBB Match History
It’s not just bad losing streaks that push players to hide their match logs, either. We’ve talked to hundreds of MLBB players in community groups over the years, and the most common motivations go far beyond avoiding friendly teasing. For example, many high-rank players hide their history to keep opposing teams from studying their main hero pool and counter picking them in tournament scrims or high-tier ranked lobbies. Other players share their account with younger family members and don’t want their friends to see random unranked matches played by kids who are still learning the game. Some players also just value their privacy, and don’t see why random people they match with once need access to 6 months of their gameplay data.
You might also want to hide your history if you’re practicing off-meta heroes for an upcoming tournament, or if you’re a content creator who doesn’t want fans to spoil upcoming build guides you’re working on. There’s no “wrong” reason to adjust your privacy settings, and Moonton doesn’t penalize players for keeping their activity private, so you don’t have to justify your choice to anyone.
Step-by-Step Methods to Hide Mobile Legends History
The good news is you don’t need any sketchy third-party apps or mods to hide your match history. Moonton has built full privacy controls directly into the game, and all of these methods take less than 2 minutes to complete. We’ve confirmed they work for both Android and iOS devices, and they won’t trigger any account bans or penalties, as long as you stick to the official in-game settings. Here are the two official methods you can use right now:
- In-game privacy settings (recommended): Open MLBB, tap your profile icon in the top left corner, then tap the gear icon in the top right to open settings. Select the “Privacy” tab from the left menu, then look for the “Match History” option. Toggle the switch next to it to “Off” to hide your full match history from everyone except yourself. If you only want to hide it from strangers, you can select “Friends Only” instead of turning it off entirely.
- Hide specific match records: If you don’t want to hide your entire history, you can hide individual bad matches instead. Go to your profile, select the “Battle” tab to see your full match list. Tap the three dot icon next to the match you want to hide, then select “Hide Match” from the dropdown menu. You can hide up to 10 matches at a time, and you can unhide them later if you change your mind.
- Hide win rate and rank stats: If you don’t want to hide full matches but still want to keep your overall stats private, go back to the Privacy settings tab and toggle off “Show Win Rate” and “Show Rank” options. This will hide your overall win rate, hero-specific win rates, and current rank from anyone who isn’t on your friends list.
We recommend using the in-game privacy settings first if you want full control over who sees your activity. The individual match hide feature is great if you only have a few embarrassing matches you don’t want people to see, and don’t want to hide your entire history from friends. Note that even if you hide your history, your friends can still see when you’re online and what game mode you’re playing, unless you also toggle on the “Hide Online Status” option in the same privacy menu.
If you change your mind later and want to make your history public again, you just follow the same steps and toggle the match history setting back to “Public”. All of your old match logs will be visible again immediately, so you don’t have to worry about losing access to your own match data when you hide it from others.
What You Can (and Can’t) Hide in Mobile Legends
One common mistake players make is assuming these privacy settings will hide all of their account activity from everyone, but that’s not the case. There are limits to what Moonton lets you hide, so it’s important to set realistic expectations before you adjust your settings. You won’t be able to hide your match history from Moonton itself, for example, as the company needs access to your match data for anti-cheat tracking, rank adjustments, and customer support requests. That means if you report a player for cheating, or someone reports you, Moonton can still pull your full match logs for review.
You also can’t hide your match history from players who were in the same match as you. If you queue up with a random team, they will be able to see that specific match’s stats in their own battle logs, even if you hide your full history from your profile. They won’t be able to see any of your other matches, though, so that’s a small tradeoff. Your in-game achievements and collected skins will still be visible to everyone even if you hide your match history, so if you want to hide those too, you’ll need to toggle the separate “Show Achievements” and “Show Skins” options in the privacy menu.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your match history will still be visible to anyone you add as a friend if you select the “Friends Only” privacy setting. If you want to hide your history from specific friends, you’ll either need to remove them from your friends list or set your match history to “Only Me” so no one but you can see it.
Important Safety Notes for Adjusting ML Privacy Settings
We’ve seen a lot of bad advice floating around MLBB community groups about hiding match history, so we want to clear up some common myths and warn you about risks first. A lot of sites claim you can use modded APKs to hide your history from friends as well, but those mods almost always come with malware or anti-cheat triggers that will get your account permanently banned. Moonton’s anti-cheat system detects any modified game files immediately, so it’s never worth the risk of losing an account you’ve spent hundreds of dollars and hours on.
There’s also no way to delete your match history entirely right now. You can only hide it from public view, so don’t fall for scams that promise to permanently erase your match logs for a small fee. Those scams almost always steal your account credentials or your payment information, and they don’t deliver on their promise. Moonton stores all match data on its own servers, so no third party can delete it for you.
Another thing to note is that if you’re part of a registered esports team or participate in official MLBB tournaments, your match history may be visible to tournament organizers even if you have it hidden on your public profile. That’s standard for competitive play, and it’s nothing to worry about as long as you’re not using any cheats or exploits. If you’re unsure about any setting, you can always test it by asking a friend who isn’t on your friends list to look up your profile and confirm what they can see. That’s the easiest way to make sure your settings are working exactly how you want them to.
At the end of the day, you get to decide how much of your gameplay activity you want to share with other players. Whether you’re hiding a rough losing streak, protecting your main hero pool from counter picks, or just value your online privacy, learning how to hide Mobile Legends history is a quick, simple process that won’t cost you anything or put your account at risk. Don’t fall for sketchy third party tools or hacks that promise extra features – stick to the official in-game privacy settings, and you’ll be able to control exactly what other players see on your profile in just a couple of taps.
