Logging off of Messenger can be a crucial step to maintain your privacy or simply take a break from the platform. Unlike other apps, Messenger does not offer a dedicated “Sign Out” button, making it slightly less straightforward to log out. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to effortlessly sign out of Messenger on your iPhone, ensuring your account’s security and your peace of mind.
To commence the sign-out process, navigate to the Messenger app on your iPhone and tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner. This action will direct you to your profile page. Scroll down the page until you locate the “Settings” option and tap on it. Within the “Settings” menu, scroll down further to find the “Account Info” section. Underneath the “Account Info” section, you will see the “Security and Login” option; tap on it to proceed to the next step.
In the “Security and Login” section, you will find a list of devices that are currently logged into your Messenger account. To sign out of Messenger, simply tap on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the “Active Devices” section. This will reveal a list of all the devices where you are currently logged in. Locate the device that you wish to sign out of and tap on the “Remove” button next to it. Once you have tapped on the “Remove” button, you will be successfully signed out of Messenger on that particular device.
