Trying to find the logout button in the Amazon app can be confusing. The option is not always placed where you might expect it. Amazon has changed its mobile app menus over time, which means older guides may show steps that no longer match your screen.

The good news is that logging out is simple once you know where to look.

If you are searching for how to log out of the Amazon app, the basic process is to open the app menu, find Settings or the account options, select Sign Out, and confirm your choice. The exact menu location can vary with the current version of the app.

This guide explains how to log out of Amazon on Android, iPhone, iPad, and a desktop browser. It covers the regular sign-out process, what to do when the logout option is missing, how account switching works, and what happens after you sign out.

How to Log Out of the Amazon App on Android

The Amazon Shopping app uses Sign Out for logging out of your account.

Try these steps first:

1. Open the Amazon Shopping app.
2. Click ‘You’ from the bottom panel.
3. At the top, you will see a greeting message such as ” Hello, XXX”
4. Tap the drop-down arrow to expand.
5. A menu will slide up from the bottom.
6. Tap Sign Out.
7. Confirm your choice when Amazon asks you to sign out.

After you confirm the action, the Amazon app should return you to a sign-in screen or another account screen. Your Amazon account itself remains active.

If you only wanted to use another account, there is another option that may be more convenient. Amazon supports account switching in its mobile experience, allowing users to move between accounts without repeatedly signing out and signing back in. For that, just pick your desired account from the slide menu that you saw in the last step.

How to Log Out of Amazon App on iPhone and iPad

The basic process is similar on an iPhone.

If you are wondering how to log out of Amazon app on iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open the Amazon Shopping app.
2. Tap the user icon or “You” menu from the bottom panel.
3. You will see a greeting message starting with “Hello” followed by your name on the top.
4. Click the drop-down arrow next to it. A new menu will appear at the bottom with account switching and sign-out options.
5. Tap Sign Out.
6. Confirm the action.

Once you confirm the action, Amazon will end the signed-in session on that device. You can sign back in later with your Amazon email address or mobile number and password.

How to Log Out of Amazon on a Desktop Browser

You can use Amazon through a desktop browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.

The website logout process is simpler than the mobile app.

Here is how to log out of Amazon on a desktop browser:

1. Open the Amazon website.
2. Make sure you are signed in.
3. Move your mouse over Account & Lists near the top-right area of the page.
4. Look through the menu that opens.
5. At the top, you will see options to switch accounts and sign out.
6. Click Sign Out.

The current desktop layout can vary based on your Amazon country site and the site’s design, but the Account & Lists menu is the usual place to find the sign-out command.

If you are using a public computer, shared office computer, hotel computer, or someone else’s laptop, make sure you complete the sign-out process before leaving the device.

You should never rely on simply closing the browser window. Closing Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or another browser does not give you the same clear confirmation as using Amazon’s own Sign Out option.

How to Log Out of Amazon Website on a Laptop

The process is the same on a laptop.

Open the Amazon website and sign in if necessary. Then move your pointer over Account & Lists. Find Sign Out in the menu and click it.

You do not need to remove browser cookies just to log out of Amazon.

If you use a personal laptop, the browser may remember some Amazon information after you sign out. This does not mean your Amazon account is still actively signed in. Saved passwords, autofill data, and browser cookies are separate issues from the account’s active session.

If you are using a shared laptop, you can take extra steps by closing the browser after signing out and checking that the Amazon page no longer shows your account as signed in.

Amazon App Logout Option Not Showing

One of the biggest reasons people search for Amazon app log out is that they cannot find the Sign Out button.

The Amazon mobile interface has changed over time. A guide written a few years ago may show a menu layout that no longer exists on your phone.

Check whether the app needs an update

Open Google Play on Android or the App Store on iPhone and check for an available Amazon update.

An update can change the position or appearance of menu options. Once the app is updated, reopen it and check the menu again.

Close and reopen the Amazon app

If the menu does not load correctly, close the app completely and open it again.

This is worth trying when a button appears to be missing or the Settings section does not expand.

Check that you are using the correct Amazon app

Amazon offers several apps and services.

If you are trying to sign out of the Amazon Shopping app, make sure you are not looking at instructions for Amazon Business, Prime Video, Seller Central, or another Amazon service.

Do not rely on old screenshots

Screenshots can be useful, but Amazon changes its app interface.

A screenshot showing the Sign Out button at the top of a menu may not match your current app. Focus on the menu names and the account Settings area rather than the exact location shown in an old image.

Can You Log Out of Amazon by Closing the App?

No. Closing the Amazon app is not the same as signing out.

When you swipe an app away from your recent apps list, you are simply closing the application. Your account session may still be available when you open the app again.

If you want to end your signed-in session, use Sign Out.

This distinction is especially useful on a shared phone. Someone who opens the Amazon app after you could potentially access the account if the app still has an active session.

How to Switch Accounts on the Amazon App

You may not need to log out if your goal is to use another Amazon account.

Amazon has supported account switching in its mobile app. The switch Accounts feature lets users add accounts and move between them. It was designed to make switching between personal and business accounts easier without requiring a full logout each time.

If the account switcher is available on your app, you can use it when you regularly work with more than one Amazon account.

The general idea is:

1. Open the Amazon app.
2. Click on the user avatar on the bottom panel.
3. Expand greeting message on the top (Hello, XXX)
4. Look for Switch Accounts.
5. Select an account or add another account if the option is available.

Accounts in the switcher can be selected without entering the password each time. At the same time, signing out of an account can remove that account from the switcher list.

The exact options can depend on the Amazon app version and account type.

What If You Forgot to Log Out of Amazon on Another Computer?

This situation is more serious than simply forgetting to close a tab.

If you used Amazon on someone else’s computer and left the account signed in, do not assume that closing the browser fixed the problem.

Start by checking your Amazon account security options. If you believe someone else may have access, review your account activity and security settings. Head to “Login & Security” settings and use the “Compromised account?” option to sign out from all your devices.

Changing your Amazon password can be appropriate when you believe your credentials may have been exposed. You should use Amazon’s official account and security pages for account recovery or security actions.

What If Amazon Keeps Logging Me Out?

There is a major difference between choosing to log out and Amazon repeatedly ending your session.

If Amazon keeps asking you to sign in again, check the following:

• Browser cookies
• App updates
• Account security alerts
• Password changes
• Device settings
• Browser privacy settings
• Internet connection
• Whether you are using a private browsing window

On a desktop browser, deleting cookies can affect saved login sessions. Privacy extensions and aggressive cookie settings can do the same.

If the problem continues across devices, check your Amazon account security settings and contact Amazon support if needed.

Do not repeatedly enter your password if you see a suspicious login page. Make sure you are using the real Amazon website or official Amazon app.

Is It Safe to Stay Logged In to Amazon?

On your own phone or personal computer, staying signed in can make shopping faster.

You do not need to log out every time you finish browsing Amazon on a private device.

A shared device is a separate case.

If another person can use the device, signing out reduces the chance that they can open your Amazon session and access account information.

The same principle applies to public computers. Always sign out before leaving.

Should You Log Out of Amazon Before Selling Your Phone?

Yes.

If you are selling, giving away, or returning your phone, signing out of Amazon should be part of your preparation.

You should go through your other accounts and apps as well.

For Amazon, open the app and use the Sign Out option.

Then review the phone for saved passwords, account information, and other personal data. If you are permanently handing the device to someone else, follow the device manufacturer’s recommended process for removing your personal information and resetting the phone.

Signing out of Amazon is only one part of preparing a device for another user.

Can I Log Back Into Amazon After Signing Out?

Yes.

Logging out does not prevent you from using the account again.

Open the Amazon app or website and choose the sign-in option. Enter the email address or mobile number associated with your account and your password.

Amazon may ask you to complete an additional verification step based on your account security settings.

If you use account switching on the app, the account may appear in the account switcher depending on how you signed out and which Amazon app version you have. Amazon’s account-switching documentation says signing out can remove an account from the switcher list.
