The interplay between the chiral anomaly and the strong magnetic or vortical fields created in noncentral heavy-ion collisions can lead to various anomalous chiral effects in the quark--gluon plasma, including the chiral magnetic effect (CME), the chiral magnetic wave (CMW), and the chiral vortical effect (CVE). In this proceeding, recent ALICE measurements of these effects are summarized. Utilizing Event Shape Engineering, fractions of CME and CMW signals extracted in Pb--Pb collisions at √s_\rmNN = 5.02 TeV are consistent with zero within uncertainties. The CVE is studied using azimuthal correlations between baryon pair Λ--p with Λ--h and h--h as reference. These measurements provide new insights into the experimental search for anomalous chiral effects in heavy-ion collisions.
