How to Log Out of the Uber App

Updated 2026-08-21 · 990 words

To log out of the Uber rider app, open Account, select Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Sign Out. Confirm the choice if the Uber app asks, and the phone should return to the sign-in screen.

If you searched “how do i logout of uber app,” make sure you are using the regular Uber rider app. These instructions do not apply to the separate driver app.

Where is the logout option in the Uber app?

The logout option is usually at the bottom of the Settings screen in the Uber rider app. Start from the main app screen, tap Account, and then tap Settings. Scroll through the entire Settings page until you see Sign Out.

Account commonly appears in the lower-right corner. The exact position and wording can change when Uber updates the app, so also look for a profile picture or menu icon if Account is not visible.

Sign Out may appear below the other settings and require more scrolling than expected. Do not select privacy or account-management controls when your only goal is to end the current session.

How do I log out of the Uber app step by step?

  1. Open the Uber rider app on the phone where your account is signed in.
  2. Finish or leave any open screen until you can see the main navigation controls.
  3. Tap Account, usually near the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  4. Tap Settings.
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen.
  6. Tap Sign Out.
  7. Confirm that you want to sign out if a confirmation message appears.
  8. Wait for the app to return to its welcome, registration, or sign-in screen.

A successful logout of the Uber app ends the current app session on that phone. It does not remove the Uber app or erase the account.

Before signing out on a shared phone, check that the sign-in screen no longer shows your account as active. If the phone offers to remember account details, review that prompt before handing the device to someone else.

What should I do if the Uber logout button is missing or does not respond?

If Sign Out is missing, first scroll all the way to the bottom of Settings. A small screen, enlarged text, or an open keyboard can hide the last part of the page.

If the button is visible but does not respond, try these checks in order:

  • Close the Uber app completely, reopen it, and return to Account and Settings.
  • Check that the phone has a working internet connection. The app may need to communicate with Uber to complete the sign-out request.
  • Install any available Uber rider app update from the phone’s official app store.
  • Restart the phone if the screen remains frozen or menu controls do not respond.
  • On Android, clear the app cache through the phone’s app settings, then reopen Uber. Avoid clearing app storage unless you are prepared to sign in again.
  • If the problem continues, remove and reinstall the rider app only after confirming that you can access the account’s phone number, email, password, or saved passkey.

Do not keep tapping Sign Out while the screen is frozen. Wait for the app to respond, because repeated taps can make it unclear whether the request completed.

What do I need to log back in to Uber afterward?

To sign back in, be ready to enter the phone number or email address connected to the intended Uber account. Depending on how the account is configured, Uber may also ask for a password, a temporary verification code, or a passkey.

A passkey is a sign-in credential saved on a supported device and unlocked with the device’s security method. If you normally use a passkey, select the appropriate passkey option and make sure the correct saved account is chosen.

Keep access to the connected phone number and email account before logging out. A verification code may be delivered by text message, email, or another method shown during sign-in. Never give a verification code or password to another person.

How do I switch between multiple Uber accounts?

Logging out lets you leave one Uber rider account and enter the credentials for another. Before switching, identify the phone number or email address attached to each account so you do not accidentally sign back into the same one.

Check these details before logging out:

  • Confirm which account is currently open by reviewing the name and contact details in Account or Settings.
  • Make sure you can receive a verification message for the account you want to use next.
  • Check whether the phone or password manager has saved credentials for more than one account.
  • Read every account-selection prompt instead of automatically choosing the first saved profile.

If Uber repeatedly opens the wrong account, sign out again and manually enter the other account’s phone number or email. Creating another account is usually not a useful fix for a sign-in problem and can leave trip information divided between separate profiles.

When should I contact Uber support instead of logging out?

Logging out can refresh an app session, but it will not correct every account problem. Contact Uber support if you cannot access the phone number or email needed for verification, do not recognize account activity, believe someone else entered the account, or cannot sign back in after using the correct credentials.

Support may also be necessary when your contact details appear to belong to another account, you accidentally created duplicate rider accounts, or the app remains stuck after updating and restarting the phone. Use Help inside the Uber rider app when it is available. If you cannot enter the app, open {site} and look for the rider account sign-in or account-access help options.

When contacting support, describe the screen message exactly and provide the preferred phone number and email address for the account. Do not send a password or a temporary verification code. If there is unfamiliar activity, treat the issue as an account-security problem rather than a simple logout failure.
