- First of all, go to the settings on your phone.
- Scroll down to the bottom and go to the Apps menu.
- Then scroll through the apps menu and go to Messenger.
- Next, tap on the storage menu.
- In the end, tap on the clear storage button, and you are all done.
By following these steps, you will be able to logout from Messenger. Now go to the Messenger app and check if the steps did work for you or not.
How To Log Out from Messenger on Your iOS or Android Device using the Facebook App?
In case, if you are an iOS user, then the above methods are not going to work for you on your iPhone or iPad. Although, you can access the messenger app from the settings of your iOS devices. But it does not work the same way as on Android.
Instead, the only option you have to logout from the messenger app is to use the official Facebook app. Just in case if you only use Facebook messenger and not the Facebook app. Then I would suggest you to install the app at first.
- First of all, launch the Facebook app from your iOS Device.
- Then go to the menu option (the hamburger icon which is located at the bottom of your screen).
- From the menu, scroll down to the bottom and go to the Settings Privacy and then Settings.
- Now tap on Security and Login.
- Now from the Where You’re Logged In section, you will find a list of all the devices connected to your Facebook account along with their locations. In case, if you do not get to see your device name with the messenger, then you will need to tap on See More to load more devices where you are logged in.
- Next, tap on the three dots located beside the device name. Then tap on the log out button, and the listing will get disappeared. Plus, you will be logged out of your Messenger account.
- Open the app to confirm the action, and you are all done.
Logout from Messenger on Your iOS or Android Device from Desktop
If you do not want to go through the hassle of downloading the app. Or going to the Facebook app at all. Then there is the Facebook.com website available for you. You can simply log in to your Facebook account through a web browser on your Desktop or mobile phone (Desktop is recommended). And from there, you will be able to logout of your Account. For this, you can follow these steps:
- First of all, you will need to visit Facebook.com through a web browser and log in to your account.
- Now from the Facebook home page, click on the down arrow located in the top right corner. And from there, select Settings.
- From the settings, go to the Security and Login option.
- Now you will find a list of all the devices. Simply click on the three dots located beside the listing and select logout.
- That is it. Once, you are done with all these steps, Messenger will be logged out of your Account.
