• Steps

Maintaining a Facebook account login is only appropriate when you have a personal computer, but if you share a computer with other people, you should log out as soon as you have access. If you forget to sign out while using a public or shared computer, you can use Facebook's security settings to log out remotely. If you need to sign out of the Messenger app, you'll do a few more steps because the app doesn't include sign-out. To terminate your use of Facebook, you can also deactivate your account.

Method 3 of 4: Remote logout

1. 

   
   
   Use this method to sign out of your Facebook account on a computer or device that you no longer use. If you forgot to sign out of Facebook on a computer at work or school, or on a friend's phone, you can use Security Settings to log out remotely.
   • This method can help you sign out of Facebook Messenger - the app doesn't have a sign out option.

2. 

   Go to the Security Settings page. You'll find this option in your account's settings.
   • Computer - Click the down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Facebook homepage, select "Settings", then select "Security". You can also access it from the address and login when required.
   • On the Facebook app and mobile browser - Tap the ☰ button, scroll down and select "Account Settings" and select "Security".

3. 

   Open a list of logins. This list shows all the times you've logged into Facebook. Information includes your current device, mobile device, and other devices that you use to log into Facebook.
   • On the computer - Click on "Where You’re Logged In". You will find this near the bottom of the Privacy menu.
   • On the Facebook app and mobile browser - select "Active Sessions".

4. 

   Expand each section of the information to see where you signed in from (for computers). You'll see the device's name (provided to Facebook), location, and last login. Use this information to find the login you want to end.
   • You'll see your sign-in times, including current time, mobile device in use, and Messenger.

5. 

   End a single login to log off remotely. This will terminate the login attempt on a particular device and Facebook will switch to the login screen. If someone is viewing your Facebook from that browser or application, they will be "kicked" out immediately.
   • Desktop - click the "End Activity" option next to your login to log out.
   • On the Facebook app and mobile browser - Tap the "X" next to your login to sign out.

6. 

   Click "End All Activity" to log out of all hits (for desktop). If you want to make sure you do not have any logins left, you should click on the "End All Activity" link above the "Where you’re logged in" section. This will help you exit Facebook on all imported devices, including the current device.
   • This option is only available when accessing Facebook on a computer.

Method 4 of 4: Sign out of the Facebook Messenger app

1. Use the remote logout method. Facebook Messenger does not include an in-app Sign Out option. That means you need to do a few things to log out of your account. The fastest way is to use the remote logout method in the text above. Find the time you logged in to "Messenger" and choose finish to log out.
   • This is the only way to sign out of Messenger on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

2. 

   Delete app data (for Android). Another way to log out of Messenger on Android is to delete the app's data in the following way:
   • Open the App Settings on Android.
   • Select "Apps" or "Application Manager".
   • Select "Messenger" in the application list.
   • Select the "Clear Data" button. If you don't see this option, you should first select "Storage". This will help you sign out of your Messenger account.

3. 

   Sign out of your Facebook account to avoid signing in to Messenger again. If you log in to your Facebook account on a device with Messenger, this app will be logged in with just one touch. Therefore, you should log out of Facebook if you do not want to log back into Messenger easily. advertisement
