The steps to log out of Uber
Open the Uber app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. On the next screen, scroll to the bottom and tap "Settings." Inside Settings, scroll down until you see "Log Out" and tap it. The app will ask you to confirm — tap "Log Out" again, and you will be signed out of your account.
The process takes about 30 seconds. After you log out, the app will return to the login screen. You can then close the app or log in with a different account if you need to. The entire sequence — from opening the app to seeing the login screen — should take less than a minute on most phones.
Key Takeaways
- The Log Out button is in Settings, which you reach by tapping your account icon at the bottom right of the app.
- You must confirm the logout when the app asks — tapping once is not enough.
- After logging out, you will see the login screen and can close the app or sign in with another account.
- Logging out on your phone does not affect Uber on any other device — you will need to log out separately on each one.
- If you forget your password after logging out, you can reset it on the login screen by tapping "Trouble logging in?"
Why you might want to log out
You may want to log out if you are sharing a phone with someone else, switching to a different account, or selling or giving away your device. Logging out removes your payment methods, saved addresses, and ride history from that phone so the next person who uses it cannot see your information or request rides on your account.
If you are concerned about account security — for example, if you think someone else has access to your account — logging out of the app is a first step. However, you should also change your password on a computer or another device to make sure no one else can log back in using your old password. Changing your password is more secure than logging out alone because it prevents anyone who knows your password from accessing your account on any device.
What happens after you log out
Your account itself remains active. Your saved payment methods, ride history, and account settings stay on Uber's servers. The next time you log in — whether on this phone or a different device — all your information will be there exactly as you left it.
You will not receive notifications about ride requests, promotions, or account activity while you are logged out. If you are a driver, logging out will also stop you from receiving ride requests through the driver app. Your account balance, credits, and any active promotions will still be waiting for you when you log back in.
Logging out on other devices
If you use Uber on a web browser, you can log out by clicking your account icon in the top right corner and selecting "Log Out." The process is the same as on the app — you will be asked to confirm before the logout completes.
If you have the Uber Eats app installed separately, logging out of the main Uber app does not log you out of Eats. You will need to open the Eats app and repeat the logout steps there. The two apps use the same account but maintain separate sessions, so you can be logged into one and logged out of the other at the same time.
If you cannot find the Log Out button
Make sure you are looking in the right place: tap the account icon at the bottom right of the screen (it looks like a person's head and shoulders), then tap "Settings," then scroll all the way to the bottom. The Log Out button should be the last item on that screen. If your screen does not show a Settings option, you may be on an older version of the app.
If you still do not see it, try closing and reopening the app. If the button remains missing, your app may need an update — check your phone's app store to see if a newer version is available. Older versions of the app sometimes have different menu layouts. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, which will give you the current version with the standard menu structure.
Logging out when you no longer have access to your phone
If you have lost your phone or no longer have it, you can still log out of your Uber account remotely. Go to the Uber website on a computer, log in with your email and password, and look for a "Security" or "Devices" section in your account settings. From there, you can view all devices where you are logged in and log out of any of them without needing the phone itself.
This remote logout is useful if your phone was stolen or if you sold it without logging out first. You can also change your password at the same time to prevent anyone else from logging back in on that device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will logging out delete my saved addresses and payment methods?
No. Your saved addresses, payment methods, and ride history stay in your Uber account on the company's servers. When you log back in, they will all be there. Logging out only removes them from that specific phone.
Can I log out of Uber on one device without affecting my account on another?
Yes. Logging out on your phone does not log you out on your computer, tablet, or any other device. You must log out separately on each device where you use the app.
What should I do if I forget my password after logging out?
On the login screen, tap "Trouble logging in?" and enter your email address. Uber will send you a link to reset your password. Follow the link in the email and create a new password, then use it to log back in.
Does logging out stop my driver account from receiving requests?
Yes. If you are a driver, logging out of the driver app will stop you from receiving ride requests. You will need to log back in to start receiving requests again.
Can someone log back into my account if I just log out without changing my password?
If they know your password, yes. Logging out removes your account from that phone, but it does not change your password. To prevent someone from logging in, change your password on a computer or another device after you log out.
