I won't call it a 'hack' as this word just sends people into a rage I'm sure most know the tips in my first screenshot, but the second might be less well-known. Hope it helps in some way.
Their personalised app feeds and discounts have definitely boosted my Aliexpress spending, I used to find their website an absolute nightmare to search on so I'd usually give up!
edit: Also, don't forget Aliexpress' image search - select the camera icon at the left of the search bar (on the app) - circled in Red:
Allow Settings > Permissions > Camera Access so the app can see your folder of images:
Scan a QR code / take a photo or upload an image (sometimes I use a screenshot image)
