(And How to Fix It)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Do you have trouble signing out of Facebook on your phone? It might be a technical issue, Facebook\u2019s servers could be down, or for several other reasons. Here are a few ways to get around this problem in the Facebook app on your Apple iPhone (iOS) or Android phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other reasons you can\u2019t log out of your account are that your Facebook app\u2019s cache is corrupted, the app itself is damaged, your phone\u2019s operating system has a minor glitch, and more.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check if Your Internet Connection Is Faulty\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One reason you can\u2019t log out of your Facebook account is that your phone\u2019s internet connection isn\u2019t working. Facebook needs access to the internet to sign you out of your account, and an inactive connection prevents that from happening.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check if your connection is faulty by opening a web browser and launching a site. If your site fails to launch, your internet connection has issues. In this case, try to resolve your internet problems by rebooting your router<\/a> or contacting your internet service provider (ISP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check if Facebook Is Down\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your internet connection is working, the next item to check is if Facebook\u2019s servers are down. The company\u2019s servers may be experiencing an outage, making all the services unusable.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Check<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

You can check if Facebook is down by visiting the Facebook page on the Downdetector site<\/a>. This site will tell you if Facebook is experiencing any issues. If the platform is indeed down, wait until the company fixes the issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Your Facebook App Cache\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another reason Facebook fails<\/a> to log you out of your account is that your app\u2019s cache files are corrupted. Such corrupted files can cause random issues in your app. Luckily, fixing the problem in this case is easy, as all you have to do is clear your app\u2019s cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t lose your account data when you do that, and the app will rebuild this cache. Note that you can only clear an app\u2019s cache on Android<\/a>; the iPhone doesn\u2019t allow you to do that.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate the Facebook<\/span> app in your app drawer or on your home screen.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Tap and hold on the app and select App info<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose Storage usage<\/span> on the following screen.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select Clear cache<\/span> to delete the app\u2019s cache files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Launch the Facebook<\/span> app and try to sign out of your account.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Roll Back Your Facebook App Update\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you started facing a sign-out problem after updating the Facebook app, your app update might be faulty. Such updates cause various issues in your app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this case, you can roll back your app update to possibly resolve your issue. Note that you can only downgrade apps on Android; you can\u2019t uninstall app updates on an iPhone.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Tap and hold on Facebook<\/span> in your app drawer or on your home screen and select App info<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Select the three dots in the top-right corner and choose Uninstall updates<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select OK<\/span> in the prompt to begin removing the app update.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Launch your downgraded app and see if you can log out of your account.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Update Facebook on Your iPhone or Android Phone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If your Facebook app is outdated, that may be why you can\u2019t sign out of your account in the app. Obsolete app versions are known to cause issues, and this may be the case with your app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In this case, update your app to the latest version<\/a>, and your issue will be fixed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Update Facebook on Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Open Google Play Store<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Find Facebook<\/span> in the store.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Select Update<\/span> next to Facebook<\/span> to update the app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"Update<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Update Facebook on iPhone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Launch App Store<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Select the Updates<\/span> tab in the bottom bar.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Choose Update<\/span> next to Facebook<\/span> on the list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Update<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Restart Your iPhone or Android Device\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            If your Facebook sign-out issue persists, your mobile phone\u2019s operating system may be experiencing a problem. In this case, you can try to resolve those minor system glitches by rebooting your phone<\/a>. Doing that turns off and back on all your phone features, possibly fixing your issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Restart an Android Phone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Press and hold down the Power<\/span> button on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Select Restart<\/span> in the open menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"Restart<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Launch Facebook<\/span> when your phone restarts.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Restart an iPhone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Press and hold down Volume Up<\/span> + Side<\/span> or Volume Down<\/span> + Side<\/span> on your phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Drag the slider to power off your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \"Restart<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Turn on your phone by pressing and holding down the Side<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Open the Facebook<\/span> app.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Uninstall and Reinstall Facebook on Your Smartphone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    If you still can\u2019t log out of your account on Facebook, your app\u2019s core files might be corrupted. Such file damage can make various app features not work. In this case, your only solution is to remove<\/a> and reinstall the app on your phone.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Reinstall Facebook on Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                          One way to log out of your account on your phone is by visiting Facebook\u2019s desktop site and using the remote log-out option. This option allows you to log out of all sessions on all your devices.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          1. Launch a web browser on your desktop, open the Facebook Accounts Center<\/a> site, and log in to your account if you haven\u2019t already.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                            Facebook\u2019s sign-out bug prevents you from removing your account in the app on your phone.
