Mobile phones have many connectivity options today. But signing out of one app doesn’t mean you’ll automatically sign out of other apps as well. Facebook and Messenger are connected and the Messenger app does not have a log out button. Although there is no clear button to sign out of Messenger, there are still ways to sign out without much hassle.

With so many chat apps, you may be worried about your personal information online. For this reason, many users choose to disconnect and log out of Messenger and similar applications. In this article, you will learn how to log out of all devices.

How to log out of Messenger on your PC

Messenger can be used on many devices: iPhone, Android, iPad, PC, etc. If you use your personal computer or laptop more than your phone, you can sign out of Messenger from your PC this way.

Opening Messenger on a PC makes signing out of this app much easier, considering there is a sign out button. That is why this way is the most practical.

1. Sign in to Messenger.
   
2. Click on your profile photo in the upper left corner of the screen.
   
3. The menu with options will open. Tap the “Sign Out” button.

There is also the option to log out of Messenger using Facebook.

1. Open the menu with the down arrow icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
2. In the menu options, click the “Sign Out” button.
   

How to log out of Messenger on Android

For Android users, signing out of Messenger can be a bit tricky as there is no obvious option to sign out. This is how you can do it:

1. Open Messenger on your Android.
   
2. Click on your profile photo in the upper left corner of the screen.
   
3. The menu with options will open.
   
4. Find “Account Settings.”
   
5. Next, click on the “Security and login” option.
   
   • Click the “See more” option to see the list of devices you are signed in to.
     
6. If you want to sign out of all devices, simply click on the “Sign out of all sessions” option.
   
7. If you want to sign out of a particular device, click the three dots near that device.
   
8. Then, click on the “Sign Out” option.
   

In addition to this method, there is another that you can use to log out of Messenger. Deleting Messenger data will log you out of this application.

1. Exit the Facebook and Messenger apps on your phone.
2. Open the phone settings and find the “Applications” option. On some devices, this option will be called “Application Manager.”
   
3. Scroll down and search for Messenger.
   
4. Click “Storage” or “Storage and cache.” Then click “Clear Storage” or “Clear Data,” depending on the device.
   

Yes, clearing data is one of the ways to log out of Messenger. But apart from this, clearing the cache can also log you out of your device. Clearing the cache will not affect your data, it will only delete local files in Messenger. When you want to open the Messenger app again, you’ll need to sign in again. This is a great way to sign out of your device. A big advantage of clearing the cache is that you are freeing up space on your phone.

How to Sign Out of Messenger on an iOS Device

For iPhone and iPad users, there are two ways to sign out of Messenger from the Facebook and Messenger apps. Hopefully, Messenger will have an obvious logout button in the future, making this process much easier.

Sign out of the Facebook app

Messenger settings can be confusing, while the Facebook app has always been easier to use. Here’s how you can sign out of Messenger through the Facebook app:

2. Find the “Settings & Privacy” option in the Menu.
   
3. Click “Security” and then “Security & Login.”
   
4. All devices you’re signed in to Messenger on will be displayed in the “Where you’re signed in” option.

If you want to sign out of Messenger from more than one device, you must do so one at a time (see Step 6). Each device has three dots next to it, where you can find the “Sign Out” button.

Sign out of the Messenger app

1. iOS device users can sign out of Messenger using the app itself. Open the Messenger app and click on your profile photo in the top left corner of the screen.
   
2. The “Account Settings” option will open.
   
3. Click “Security & Login.”
   
4. On the next page, sign in to your account.
5. On devices, you’ll see which device you’re signed in with Messenger on.
   
6. Click the three dots next to the device you want to sign out of. Click the “Sign Out” option that appears.
   
7. Repeat this for each device.

Facebook Messenger is not private

Facebook has experienced data breaches in the past that put its users’ personal information at risk. Even if you deactivate your Facebook account, you will still be able to use Messenger and leave information. The Messenger app tracks your actions and has access to your microphone, camera, and contacts. All of which may convince users to delete this app.

Deactivate Facebook and Messenger

Even if Facebook and Messenger are connected, this does not apply to deactivation.

If you don’t feel safe enough just signing out of Facebook and Messenger, you can always delete or disable the apps. To completely get rid of Messenger, the Facebook account must also be deactivated. When you deactivate your Facebook account, you will not be able to access your profile permanently. After 30 days, Facebook and Messenger will not be accessible.

If you change your mind and want to reactivate Messenger, all you need to do is sign in to your account. But if the 30 days have passed, you will have to create a new profile and start from scratch.

Delete the Messenger app

You can completely protect your information by deleting the Messenger app completely. If you decide to delete Messenger, Facebook will also be deleted and you will lose all content from both apps. Unlike deactivation, when this process begins, you will not be able to reactivate the account to recover data. Please note that it is advisable to download important photos or data beforehand.

Ensure your privacy

Unfortunately, important information can be obtained online and used for incorrect purposes and bad practices. If you are worried about your private data on the Internet, you can always look for a way to protect it online. Interaction is part of being human and being active on social networks is part of living in a modern society.
