How to Sign Out of the Uber App
To sign out of the Uber app, open Account, select Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Sign Out. Confirm the choice if Uber asks; the app should then return to its sign-in screen.
Where is the sign-out option in the Uber app?
In the Uber rider app, the sign-out option is normally inside the account settings, not on the main map. Tap the profile or Account icon, open Settings, and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Look for Sign Out or Log Out. The exact wording and icon position can change after an app update, but the option should remain in the account or settings area. If you opened Uber in a mobile browser instead of the installed app, the menus may be different.
How do you sign out of the Uber app on an iPhone?
- Finish or cancel any active request before signing out.
- Open the Uber rider app on the iPhone.
- Tap Account or the profile icon on the main screen.
- Select Settings.
- Scroll to the bottom of the settings screen.
- Tap Sign Out or Log Out.
- Confirm that you want to sign out if a confirmation message appears.
- Wait for the Uber sign-in screen to appear before handing the iPhone to someone else.
If the iPhone uses Face ID, a passkey, or saved login information, signing out of Uber does not necessarily remove those credentials from the device. Review the iPhone password or passkey settings separately if another person will keep the phone.
How do you sign out of the Uber app on Android?
- Make sure there is no active ride or request that you still need to manage.
- Open the Uber rider app on the Android phone.
- Tap Account or the profile icon.
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down until Sign Out or Log Out appears.
- Tap the sign-out option and confirm the action if prompted.
- Check that the app displays its sign-in screen.
Do not use Android’s Clear storage option merely to log out. Clearing app storage can remove local preferences and downloaded app data. The in-app Sign Out control is the normal way to leave an Uber account.
What happens after you sign out of the Uber app?
Signing out ends the current app session on that phone. It does not delete the Uber account, trip history, saved payment methods, receipts, profile details, or account preferences. Those records remain connected to the account and should be available after the account holder signs in again.
The signed-out app will no longer show the account’s personal trip information. Account-specific push notifications generally stop appearing through that signed-out session, although Uber may still send security or account messages by text or email when appropriate. Phone-level notification settings are not automatically erased.
Signing out also does not remove a saved password, passkey, or autofill entry stored by Apple, Google, a browser, or a password manager. Remove those separately before permanently giving the phone to another person.
How do you sign back in to the Uber app?
Open the Uber app and choose the option to log in. Enter the phone number associated with the Uber account when the app asks for it. Depending on the account and sign-in method, Uber may instead offer email, a connected sign-in provider, a password, or a passkey.
Complete any identity check shown on the screen. A verification code may be sent by text or generated through an authentication app when two-step verification is enabled. Use the same account details previously associated with the trip history and payment methods.
If switching between existing accounts, check the displayed name before using the app. A phone number and an email address are account identifiers; entering credentials for a different account can open a different trip history.
What should you do if signing out of the Uber app does not work?
If the sign-out button does nothing or Uber freezes, try these steps in order:
- Wait until any active ride or account prompt has been resolved, then try Sign Out again.
- Close the Uber app completely and reopen it.
- Restart the phone, open Uber, and return to Account and Settings.
- Check the phone’s app store for an Uber update and install it if one is available.
- Confirm that the phone has a working internet connection. The app may need to contact Uber to close the session properly.
- If the problem continues, open the Help area in the app and describe what happens when Sign Out is tapped.
Reinstalling the app can be a later troubleshooting step, but first make sure you can receive any required verification code and know the account’s login details. Removing the app is not the same as deleting the Uber account.
Is signing out different in the Uber rider and Uber Driver apps?
Yes. Uber and the Uber Driver app are separate apps, so signing out of one does not automatically prove that the other app is signed out.
- In the Uber rider app, start with Account or the profile icon, select Settings, scroll down, and choose Sign Out.
- In the Uber Driver app, open the main menu or Account section and look for Log Out. The label and placement may differ by app version.
If the phone has both apps, open each one and sign out separately before handing off the device. Wait for each app to show its own login screen. This is the safest way to confirm that neither the rider session nor the driver session remains accessible.
