Many people stay logged into Facebook on old phones, shared computers, tablets, or devices they’ve forgotten. Sometimes a lost phone or a suspicious login makes it important to log out of everything at once. Facebook includes a tool that allows you to quickly remove access from all devices. This guide explains in simple steps how to find that tool and use it safely.
Where can you find Facebook’s security and login settings?
Facebook keeps its logout tools in the Security and login section. You can reach it both via the app and via the website.
In the Facebook app, tap the menu icon, scroll down and open Settings and privacy. Then choose So settings Security and login. On the desktop site, the same menu appears below your profile photo in the top bar.
This section lists all the places where your account is currently logged in. It includes phones, browsers, tablets and any location that can access your account.
How to check all the devices you’re logged in to
You will see it on the Security and Login page Where you are logged in. This section shows:
- device type
- approximate location
- time of the last activity
- browser or app used
With each session you can confirm whether the login is yours. If you see something you don’t recognize, you can log out immediately and secure your account.
Facebook may show older sessions that have remained active for weeks or months, especially on devices you’ve used in the past.
Sign out of Facebook on each device at once
To unsubscribe from anywhere with one action, follow these steps:
- Open Facebook settings.
- Go to Security and login.
- Find the Where you are logged in section.
- Scroll down and tap Log out of all sessions.
- Confirm the action when Facebook asks.
This will delete your account from every device except the one you are currently using. It helps if you think someone else might still have access.
Only log out of specific devices
Sometimes you just want to remove one device instead of logging out everything. This is useful if you come across an old login or a device you no longer use.
Log out of one device:
- Locate the device Where you are logged in
- Tap the three dots next to it
- To elect Log out
This will close that session without affecting your other devices.
What should you do if you see unknown devices?
If you notice a device or location that you don’t recognize, treat it as a security issue. Log out of that session immediately. Then change your password to prevent anyone from logging in again.
It also helps to enable two-factor authentication. This adds a verification step every time someone tries to log in. If someone has your password, he or she still can’t access your account without the second code.
If the unknown login seems serious, check your recent security emails and update all security settings.
Log out if you lose your phone
A lost phone is stressful, but Facebook lets you take control from another device. This is what you need to do:
- Sign in to Facebook from a computer or another phone
- Go to Security and login
- Log out of the session corresponding to your lost phone
- Change your password
- Enable two-factor authentication
Once you log out of the lost device, it will no longer be able to access your Facebook account.
Additional security tools you should enable
Facebook includes useful tools to help protect your account after you’ve logged out of everything.
- Notifications when logging in notify you when a new device registers.
- Two-factor authentication adds a code step for extra security.
- Trusted contacts let friends help if you get left out.
- Password checks help keep your account strong.
These tools make it more difficult for someone else to access your account without permission.
Common problems and simple solutions
Some users encounter minor issues when trying to log out on all devices.
- The app does not show the full session list
Try using the desktop site or clear the app cache. - Wrong account logged in
Log out and switch to the correct Facebook profile. - Blocked account
Follow Facebook’s account recovery steps before trying again. - No logout option is displayed
Update the Facebook app to the latest version.
These simple solutions solve most access problems.
