How to Log Out of the Uber App
To log out of the Uber app, open the app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right of your screen, scroll down to the bottom, and tap "Log Out." The app will ask you to confirm. Tap "Log Out" again, and you will be signed out of your account when ready. The next time you open the app, you will see the login screen.
Logging out removes your account information from the device but does not delete your account or your ride history. You can log back in anytime using your email address and password, or by using your phone number if that is how your account is set up.
Key Takeaways
- Open the Uber app, tap the menu icon at the bottom right, scroll to the bottom, and select "Log Out" to sign out of your account.
- Logging out does not delete your account, your payment methods, or your ride history — it only removes your login from that device.
- You can log back into the same account on the same device or any other device using your email address and password.
- If you forget your password after logging out, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login screen to reset it.
Why You Might Want to Log Out
You may want to log out if you are selling or giving away your phone, letting someone else borrow your device, or straightforward want to keep your account private on a shared device. Logging out ensures that the next person who picks up your phone cannot order rides, view your payment methods, or see your ride history.
Logging out is also useful if you suspect someone has unauthorized access to your account. Once you log out, any active sessions on that device will end, and the person will no longer be able to use your account from that phone.
What Happens When You Log Out
When you log out, the Uber app forgets your login information on that specific device. Your account itself remains active and unchanged. Your saved addresses, payment methods, ride history, and account settings stay exactly as they were.
If you have a scheduled ride that has not yet started, logging out will not cancel it. The ride will proceed as planned. However, you will not receive notifications about the ride on that device after you log out, so make sure any active rides are complete before you sign out.
How to Log Back In
To log back in, open the Uber app and tap "Log In" on the login screen. Enter the email address or phone number associated with your account, then enter your password. If you have two-factor authentication turned on, you will need to enter a code sent to your phone or email.
If you do not remember your password, tap "Forgot password?" on the login screen. Uber will send you a link to reset it. Check your email (or text message, depending on your account setup) and follow the link to create a new password.
Logging Out on Different Devices
You can use the Uber app on multiple devices at the same time while logged in to the same account. If you log out on one device, you remain logged in on all other devices. Logging out on your phone does not log you out on your tablet or computer, for example.
If you want to log out of your account on all devices at once, you will need to change your password. Once you change your password, all active sessions will end, and you will need to log in again on every device using your new password.
Troubleshooting Log Out Issues
If the "Log Out" button does not appear or the app does not respond when you tap it, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On most phones, you can close an app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (on newer iPhones) or by tapping the back button repeatedly until you exit the app.
If you still cannot log out, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Uber app. This will clear any temporary files that might be causing the problem. After you reinstall, log in again and then log out using the steps above. If the problem continues, contact Uber support through the app by tapping the menu icon and selecting "Help."
Frequently Asked Questions
Does logging out delete my account?
No. Logging out only removes your login from that device. Your account, payment methods, ride history, and all your account settings remain unchanged and will be there when you log back in.
Will my active ride be canceled if I log out?
No. If you have a ride in progress, logging out will not cancel it. The ride will continue as planned. However, you will not receive notifications about the ride on that device after you log out, so complete any active rides before logging out.
Can I log out of my account on someone else's phone?
No. You can only log out of the Uber app on a device where you are currently logged in. To remove your account from someone else's phone, you would need to log in on that device first, then log out. Alternatively, you can change your password, which will log you out of all devices at once.
What should I do if I forgot my password after logging out?
Tap "Forgot password?" on the login screen. Uber will send a password reset link to the email address or phone number associated with your account. Follow the link to create a new password, then log in with your new credentials.
How do I log out of Uber on a web browser?
If you use Uber on a computer, log in to your account at uber.com, click your profile picture or initial in the top right corner, and select "Log Out" from the menu. You will be signed out when ready and will need to log in again the next time you visit.
