To log out of the Amazon app, open the app, tap the menu icon in the bottom toolbar, scroll to the bottom of the menu, and tap Sign Out. This signs you out on that one device only. If you want to sign out everywhere at once, you’ll need to either deregister individual devices or change your Amazon password.
Key Takeaways
- Open the Amazon app menu and look for Settings.
- Sign out from there.
- Use Sign out of all devices from your account if you lost a phone.
- Do this on shared devices.
- Menus may change after updates.
Log Out of the Amazon App on a Single Device
1. Open the Amazon Shopping app on your phone or tablet.
2. Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the bottom right corner.
3. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the menu.
4. Tap Sign Out and confirm when prompted.
Additionally, this same menu path works on both Android and iOS, since the Amazon app keeps its layout consistent across platforms.
Sign Out of Amazon on All Devices at Once
If you’ve lost a device, sold your phone, or simply want a clean slate everywhere, there are three reliable ways to sign out of every device simultaneously.
Deregister devices individually
Open the app, tap your profile icon, tap Your Account, then find “Manage content and devices.” Switch to the Devices tab, find the device you want removed, and tap Deregister. Consequently, that specific device is signed out immediately without affecting your other devices.
Use “Sign-out of everything”
On Amazon’s website, go to Accounts & Lists, then Your Account, then Login & Security. Scroll down to “Compromised account?” and select “Sign-out of everything.” This forces every device, browser, and app session to log out at once, which is the fastest option if you suspect unauthorized access.
Change your password
Changing your Amazon account password automatically signs out every active session across all devices and apps. Therefore, this is a good option if you’re already updating your password for security reasons and want to log out everywhere as a side effect.
Why You Might Not See a Sign Out Option
If you can’t find Sign Out in the menu, make sure you’ve scrolled to the very bottom, since the option sits below your order history and settings links. In contrast, if the app appears frozen or unresponsive, force-close it from your device’s recent apps screen and reopen it before trying again.
What Happens After You Sign Out
Once signed out, the app returns to its sign-in screen and no longer shows your orders, cart, or saved payment methods until you log back in. Your account data itself isn’t deleted; it’s simply no longer accessible from that device until you sign in again.
Deregistering a Lost or Stolen Device
If your phone was lost or stolen, deregistering it remotely is more important than a simple sign-out, since it also prevents the device from receiving new order notifications or accessing saved payment methods. Go to Amazon’s website, then Accounts & Lists, then Login & Security, and look for the Devices section to remove the specific device from your account entirely, not just sign it out.
Additionally, after deregistering a lost device, it’s worth checking your recent order history for anything you didn’t authorize, and updating your Amazon password as an extra precaution.
Signing Out vs Deleting Saved Payment Methods
Signing out of the Amazon app does not remove any saved cards or payment methods from your account; those remain stored under your account settings regardless of which devices are signed in. Therefore, if you’re getting rid of a shared or public device, it’s worth also reviewing Your Payments under account settings to confirm no card details are cached in the browser or app separately from your Amazon account.
