Where to find the logout button in the Uber app

Open the Uber app and tap the icon that looks like a person's head in the bottom right corner. This takes you to your account menu. Scroll down to the very bottom of that screen and tap "Log Out" or "Sign Out" — the exact wording depends on whether you're using iPhone or Android, but both apps have this option at the bottom of the account menu, below settings like payment methods and ride history.

The app will ask you to confirm that you want to log out. Tap the confirmation button, and you'll be returned to the login screen. Your account information stays with Uber's servers; logging out only removes access from that particular device.

Key Takeaways

  • Tap the account icon (person's head) in the bottom right of the Uber app, then scroll to the bottom and select "Log Out".
  • The app will ask you to confirm before logging you out completely.
  • On a web browser, go to your account settings, find the "Log Out" or "Sign Out" option, and click it.
  • Logging out removes access from that device but does not delete your account or ride history.
  • If you forget your password after logging out, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen to reset it.

Logging out on the Uber website

If you use Uber through a web browser on a computer, log out by clicking the account icon or menu button — usually located in the top right corner of the page. Look for your name, a profile picture, or a three-line menu icon. Click it to open a dropdown menu.

Scroll down in that menu until you see "Log Out" or "Sign Out" and click it. You'll be taken back to the Uber login page. Like the app, this only logs you out of that browser; your account remains active on other devices.

Why you might want to log out

Log out if you're using a shared device, a public computer, or a borrowed phone. This prevents someone else from accessing your account, payment methods, saved addresses, and ride history. It's especially important on computers at libraries, internet cafes, or workplaces.

You should also log out if you're selling or giving away a phone or computer. Logging out is faster and safer than trying to remember whether you cleared your data, and it gives you a chance to check your account one last time before handing the device over.

What happens after you log out

After logging out, the app or website will no longer show your name, payment methods, or ride history. Anyone who picks up the device will see only the login screen. Your account itself is not deleted — all your information, past rides, and saved payment methods remain stored with Uber.

To use Uber again on that device, you'll need to log back in with your email address and password. If you've forgotten your password, tap or click "Forgot Password" on the login screen and follow the steps to reset it. Uber will send a reset link to the email address associated with your account.

Logging out on multiple devices at once

If you want to log out of Uber on all your devices at the same time, you can do this through your account settings on the website. Log in to Uber.com, click your account icon, and look for an option like "Security" or "Active Sessions." Some versions of the account page show a list of devices where you're currently logged in.

From that page, you can select "Log Out of All Devices" or click individual devices to log out of them one at a time. This is useful if you think your account has been compromised or if you want to make sure you're logged out everywhere before selling a device.

Troubleshooting logout problems

If the logout button doesn't appear or the app won't respond when you tap it, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or swipe down from the top right on newer models) and swipe the Uber app away. On Android, open your recent apps and swipe the Uber app away. Then reopen it and try logging out again.

If the website won't let you log out, try clearing your browser's cookies and cache, then log in again and attempt to log out. If you're still stuck, you can also change your Uber password from the account settings page — this will automatically log you out of all devices and require you to log back in with your new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does logging out delete my Uber account?

No. Logging out only removes access from that device. Your account, ride history, payment methods, and saved addresses all remain with Uber. To permanently delete your account, you would need to go into account settings and request account deletion, which is a separate process.

Will I lose my saved addresses and payment methods when I log out?

No. All your saved information stays in your Uber account. When you log back in on any device, you'll see the same addresses, payment methods, and preferences you had before. Logging out only removes access from the current device.

Can I log out of Uber on my phone but stay logged in on my computer?

Yes. Logging out on one device does not affect your login status on other devices. You can be logged in on your phone, computer, and tablet at the same time, or logged out on some and logged in on others. Each device is independent.

What should I do if someone else is using my Uber account?

Change your password when ready by going to your account settings and selecting "Change Password." This will log you out of all devices, including the one the other person is using. Then log back in on your own device with your new password. You can also check your ride history to see if there are rides you didn't take.

How do I log out if I forgot my password?

You don't need your password to log out. Just tap the account icon in the app or website and select "Log Out." If you've already logged out and can't remember your password, tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen and Uber will send a reset link to your email.
