Facebook Logout Button (How to Log Out of Facebook) ✅😻

Logging out of Facebook takes one tap on the app and one click on a browser. You can also force a remote log-out from any device you forgot to sign out of.

Always log out when you use Facebook on a borrowed phone, a hotel computer, or any device that isn’t yours. The steps below cover every situation, including how to sign yourself out remotely if you’ve already left.

How to Log Out of Facebook on a Computer

Open facebook.com in your browser.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner.
Scroll to the bottom of the menu and click Log Out.

You’re signed out instantly. If you used the browser on a shared computer, also clear cookies and cached data so the next person can’t reopen your session from history.

How to Log Out of the Facebook Mobile App

iPhone

Open the Facebook app.
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right.
Scroll all the way down and tap Log out.
Confirm by tapping Log out again.

Android

Open the Facebook app.
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top right.
Scroll to the bottom and tap Log out.
Confirm.

If you have multiple Facebook accounts saved on the device and don’t want anyone using it to log straight back in, tap your account name on the login screen and choose Remove account.

How to Log Out of Facebook Remotely (From Another Device)

Use this when you forgot to log out of a phone, computer, or browser you no longer have access to.

On any device where you’re still logged in, open Facebook and go to Settings & Privacy → Settings.
Tap Accounts Center at the top of the menu.
Tap Password and security.
Tap Where you’re logged in.
Pick the Facebook account, then review the list of active sessions. Each entry shows device type, browser, and last active time.
Tap a session you don’t recognise and choose Log out. To clear several at once, tap Select devices to log out, choose them, and confirm.

To kick yourself out of every device at the same time, tap Log out of all sessions. You’ll be signed back in only on the device you’re using right now.

How to Log Out of Facebook Messenger

Messenger keeps its own session even after you log out of Facebook.

Open the Messenger app.
Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner.
Scroll down and tap Switch account.
Tap your account, then Remove account (or Log out on Android) and confirm.

Why You Should Log Out After Each Session

Public or borrowed devices can keep your session alive in the browser long after you walk away. Anyone using the device next can read your messages, post as you, or reset your password if your email is also signed in.
Lost or stolen phones stay logged into Facebook unless you remote-log-out. Even with a phone passcode, an open Facebook session is a privacy risk.
Compromised passwords won’t disconnect existing sessions automatically. Change your password and force a log-out of all sessions together for full effect.

Extra Account Security Steps

Turn on two-factor authentication. Settings → Accounts Center → Password and security → Two-factor authentication. Use an authenticator app, not SMS, when possible.
Review login alerts. Same Password and security menu — turn on alerts for unrecognised logins so you hear about a hacked session immediately.
Check connected apps. Settings → Apps and websites → remove anything you don’t use.
Use a strong, unique password, and store it in a password manager rather than the browser’s saved-passwords feature.

Common Logout Problems

“Log out” button missing on Facebook Lite — Tap the menu (three lines), scroll past Settings, and Log out is at the very bottom. Update the app if it’s still missing.
Browser keeps you logged in after Log Out — Cookies are cached. Clear cookies for facebook.com, then close the browser.
“Where you’re logged in” shows old sessions — Some entries take 24 hours to drop off after expiring. Tap them to log out manually.
Account hacked and you can’t log in — Go to facebook.com/hacked to recover before changing your password.
