How Do I Log Off Twitter (X)? A Complete Guide for Web, iPhone, Android, and All Sessions

![hero]()

If you’re asking “how do I log off Twitter,” you’re really looking to sign out of X (formerly Twitter). The option is usually labeled Log out or Sign out, and it lives in the side menu or inside Settings. Below you’ll find exact steps for the web, iPhone/iPad, Android, plus how to log out of all sessions if you’ve used multiple devices or a shared computer.

Quick answer and what to expect

• On web (x.com or twitter.com): Open the side menu via your profile avatar (or the “More” ellipsis), then select Log out @username. If you don’t see it, go to Settings and privacy > Your account > Log out.
• On iPhone/iPad: Tap your profile picture to open the side menu; you may see Log out @username at the bottom. If not, use Settings & Support > Settings and privacy > Your account > Log out.
• On Android: Open the side menu from your profile picture or the hamburger icon; go to Settings & Support > Settings and privacy > Your account > Log out.

Log off (signing out) is not the same as deactivating or deleting your account. Logging off simply disconnects your device/session; your profile, posts, and followers remain unchanged. Deactivation is a step toward account deletion and should only be used if you intend to remove your account.

Common menu path you’ll use:

Settings and privacy > Your account > Log out

Log off on the web (x.com or twitter.com)

1. Go to x.com or twitter.com in your browser and sign in if needed.
2. Open the side menu:

• If you see your profile avatar on the left sidebar, click it.
• Alternatively, click More (three dots) to expand menu options.

1. Look for Log out @username at the bottom of the menu. Click it.
2. Confirm when prompted.

If the Log out shortcut isn’t present:

1. Click Settings and privacy.
2. Select Your account.
3. Click Log out.
4. Confirm to finish.

Tip: If you maintain multiple accounts, the Log out option generally logs out the current account you’re viewing.

Alternative web route and tips

• Be sure you’re actually on x.com or twitter.com; both domains are valid. If one seems glitchy, try the other.
• Refresh the page if the menu looks incomplete.
• UI labels can vary slightly (Log out vs Sign out), especially after app updates.
• If you’re in a pop-up or embedded view (like a site’s “Sign in with X” flow), open X in a new tab directly via x.com, then log out from there.

Managing multiple accounts

• Switch accounts: Tap/click your avatar to open the account switcher. Select the profile you want to manage.
• Log out a specific account: Switch to that account first, then use the Log out steps for your platform.
• Remove additional accounts: In the account switcher, look for options like Manage accounts or Edit to remove accounts you no longer use. You can always add them back later.

Troubleshooting when Log out is missing or not working

Try these steps in order:

• Refresh/restart:
• Web: Refresh the page or open a new tab at x.com.
• iOS/Android: Force-quit the app and relaunch.
• Update the app: Install the latest version of X from the App Store or Google Play.
• Clear site data (web):
• Clear cookies and site data for x.com and twitter.com only (to avoid losing all browser data).
• Try a private/incognito window.
• Disable extensions (web): Temporarily turn off ad blockers, privacy extensions, or script blockers that could hide UI elements.
• Check both domains: Try logging out from x.com and from twitter.com.
• Reinstall the app (mobile): Uninstall, then reinstall X to reset cached UI and sessions.
• Use another device or browser: If the issue is device-specific, another environment often works.

If you still can’t log out, change your password to force session invalidation and then use “Log out all other sessions” on the web.

Security and privacy best practices

• Don’t stay signed in on shared/public computers; uncheck “Stay signed in” when prompted.
• After logging off on a public device, clear the browser’s history, cookies, and site data for x.com/twitter.com.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for stronger account protection.
• Change your password if you suspect any unauthorized access; this invalidates old sessions.
• Regularly review connected apps and revoke access to services you no longer use:
• Web: Settings and privacy > Security and account access > Apps and sessions > Connected apps.
