The fastest way to log out of TikTok

To log out of TikTok, open the app or website, tap or click the profile icon in the bottom right corner, scroll to the very bottom of your profile menu, and tap or click "Log out". The app will ask you to confirm — tap "Log out" again. You are now signed out and your session has ended.

On a computer, the process is identical: go to TikTok.com, click your profile picture in the top right, scroll down in the menu that appears, and click "Log out". On a phone, whether you use iPhone or Android, the steps are the same because you are using the TikTok app itself.

This action signs you out when ready. TikTok will no longer track your activity on that device until you sign back in with your username, email, or phone number and password.

Key Takeaways

  • Log out by opening your profile, scrolling to the bottom of the menu, and selecting "Log out" — the process takes about 10 seconds.
  • Logging out stops TikTok from tracking your activity on that specific device, but does not delete your account or your videos.
  • If you cannot find the Log out button, make sure you are scrolled all the way to the bottom of your profile menu.
  • Logging out on one device does not log you out on other devices — you must repeat the process on each phone, tablet, or computer where you use TikTok.

Why you might want to log out

Logging out is useful when you share a device with someone else, when you are using a public computer, or when you want to stop TikTok from tracking your activity temporarily. It is also a good practice before selling or giving away a phone or computer.

Logging out does not delete your account, your videos, your followers, or any of your data. It straightforward ends your current session on that device. When you log back in with your password, everything will be exactly as you left it.

Logging out on different devices

On an iPhone: Open the TikTok app, tap the profile icon at the bottom right, scroll down past your bio and settings, and tap "Log out". Confirm by tapping "Log out" again.

On an Android phone: The steps are identical to iPhone. Open TikTok, tap your profile icon, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Log out".

On a computer (Mac or Windows): Go to TikTok.com in your web browser, click your profile picture in the top right corner, and click "Log out" from the dropdown menu. You do not need to confirm on a computer — you are logged out when ready.

On a tablet: Use the same steps as your phone. If you are using the TikTok app, follow the phone instructions. If you are using a web browser, follow the computer instructions.

What happens after you log out

Once you log out, TikTok stops recording your watch history, search history, and activity on that device. The next time someone opens TikTok on that device, they will see the login screen instead of your account.

Your account remains active in TikTok's system. Your videos stay posted, your followers stay following you, and your messages remain in your inbox. Nothing is deleted or lost. You can log back in at any time using your username, email address, phone number, or linked social media account (Google, Facebook, Apple ID, etc.).

If you cannot find the Log out button

The most common reason people cannot find the Log out button is that they have not scrolled far enough down in their profile menu. Make sure you are looking at your full profile page, not just the top section with your username and bio.

On a phone, tap your profile icon, then scroll down with your finger until you reach the very bottom of the menu. The "Log out" button appears below all your settings and preferences. On a computer, click your profile picture and look for "Log out" in the dropdown menu that appears — it is usually near the bottom.

If you still cannot find it, try closing the app completely and opening it again. Sometimes the menu does not load fully on the first try.

Logging out versus deleting your account

Logging out and deleting your account are two different things. Logging out straightforward ends your session on one device. Deleting your account removes your profile, videos, followers, and all your data from TikTok permanently.

If you only want to stop using TikTok on a specific device — like a phone you are selling or a computer at work — log out. If you want to remove your account entirely, you would need to go into your account settings and choose the delete account option, which is a separate process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does logging out delete my TikTok account?

No. Logging out only ends your session on that device. Your account, videos, followers, and all your data remain on TikTok. You can log back in anytime with your password.

If I log out on my phone, am I logged out on my computer too?

No. Each device is separate. You must log out on each phone, tablet, and computer individually. Logging out on one device does not affect your other devices.

What if I forget my password after I log out?

You can reset your password on the TikTok login screen. Tap "Forgot password?", enter your email or phone number, and TikTok will send you a reset link. You do not need to remember your old password.

Can someone else see my account if I do not log out?

Yes. If you do not log out and someone else uses the same device, they can see your account, watch your videos, and access your messages. Logging out prevents this.

Does logging out stop TikTok from tracking me?

Logging out stops TikTok from tracking your activity on that specific device. However, TikTok may still collect data through other means depending on your privacy settings and whether you have a TikTok account at all.
