If you’re unsure how to go about this, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to learn how to log out of Twitter, regardless of your device.

How to Log Out of Twitter on a PC

Your PC offers probably the most straightforward way to log out of Twitter. All you need is a few seconds and a few clicks, and you’ll be successfully logged out.

1. Go to the Twitter web client.
   
2. From your Twitter homepage, tap the three-dot icon next to your profile photo in the bottom-left corner.
   
3. Select the “Log out” option, followed by your username.
   
4. Tap “Log out” again in the pop-up menu to confirm the action.
   

After completing these steps, you’ll be logged out of Twitter on that particular browser. As the pop-up window suggests, you can log back in at any time.

If you’ve logged in to your Twitter account on multiple browsers, you’ll have to log out on each browser separately.

How to Log Out of Twitter on an Android

Logging out of Twitter on your smartphone isn’t as straightforward as you might expect, as the option to log out isn’t immediately visible. However, this option is just a few taps away. Here’s how you can reach it:

1. Tap your profile photo or the hamburger icon in the top-left corner of your screen.
   
2. Go to “Settings and privacy.”
   
3. Tap “Your account” under your username.
   
4. Navigate to “Account information.”
   
5. Scroll down to the red “Log out” button.
   

After confirming the action, you’ll be logged out of Twitter. Don’t worry—this only removes your data from that device—it doesn’t delete your account. If you’d like to use Twitter on that Android device again, you can just log back in.

How to Log Out of Twitter on an iPhone

If you’re selling your old iPhone or using the Twitter app on a corporate phone, you should log out once you’re done using it. After all, your Twitter account is probably filled with private thoughts and opinions you wouldn’t want strangers to see.

Follow these steps to log out of Twitter on your iPhone:

Suppose you want to ensure your Twitter account will be permanently removed from that device. In that case, you can revoke the app’s access. Revoking Twitter’s access will effectively log you out of the Twitter app. Here’s how you can do this:

1. Tap your profile photo at the top left.
   
2. Select “Settings and privacy.”
