How to Log Out of Monopoly Go: What You Need to Know
Monopoly Go doesn't work quite like most mobile games when it comes to account management. If you've been hunting for a straightforward logout button and coming up empty, you're not alone — and there's a specific reason for that. Understanding how the game handles accounts helps explain why logging out works differently depending on your setup.
Why Monopoly Go Doesn't Have a Traditional Logout Button
Unlike apps where you tap a profile icon and hit "Sign Out," Monopoly Go ties your game progress directly to your device and the platform you used to connect — typically Facebook or a device-linked account. The game is designed to keep you signed in continuously, which is common for mobile games that rely on persistent progress syncing.
There's no in-app logout option sitting in the settings menu. This is intentional. Scopely, the developer behind Monopoly Go, uses a connected account model rather than a traditional username/password login system. Your game data lives in the cloud, tethered to your Facebook account or your Apple/Google ID depending on how you set it up.
The Main Ways to Effectively Log Out 🎲
Because there's no dedicated logout button, "logging out" in Monopoly Go means something slightly different depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
Disconnecting Your Facebook Account
If you connected your Monopoly Go profile to Facebook:
- Open Monopoly Go and tap the Settings icon (the gear icon, typically in the top corner of the main screen)
- Look for "Linked Accounts" or a Facebook connection option
- Select the option to disconnect or unlink your Facebook account
Once unlinked, your game will no longer be associated with that Facebook login. Be aware that if you disconnect without having another save method in place, you risk losing access to your progress — so this step matters.
Logging Out via Facebook App Settings
Another route, especially useful if you want to revoke Monopoly Go's access to your Facebook account entirely:
- Open the Facebook app or go to Facebook in a browser
- Navigate to Settings & Privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites
- Find Monopoly Go in the list of connected apps
- Select Remove to revoke its access
This doesn't delete your game data, but it severs the connection between Monopoly Go and your Facebook profile. The next time you open the game, it may prompt you to reconnect or start fresh depending on your device.
Switching Accounts on the Same Device
If your goal is to play on a different account — say, a partner's account or a secondary profile — the process varies by platform.
On Android: You can use multiple Google accounts and, in some cases, Android's built-in multiple user profiles to isolate game data per profile. Clearing app data via Settings → Apps → Monopoly Go → Storage → Clear Data will effectively reset the game on that device, though this is a hard reset, not a soft logout.
On iOS: Apple's sandboxing makes this harder. Switching Apple IDs or using Screen Time restrictions can influence what's accessible, but there's no clean per-app user switch built into the OS.
What Happens to Your Progress When You Log Out?
This is where the stakes vary significantly:
| Scenario | What Happens to Progress |
|---|---|
| Unlink Facebook, account was backed up | Progress saved to Facebook; recoverable by relinking |
| Clear app data (Android) | Progress wiped locally; may still exist if cloud-saved |
| Delete and reinstall the app | Same as clear data; recoverable if linked to Facebook/Apple |
| Never linked to any account | Progress likely tied to device only; at risk if reset |
The key variable is whether your game was ever linked to an external account. Players who never connected Facebook or a platform account are the most vulnerable to permanent data loss during any reset process.
When You Might Actually Need to Log Out
People look for a Monopoly Go logout option for a few different reasons, and the right approach depends on which applies to you:
- Selling or giving away your device — clearing app data or doing a full factory reset is the appropriate step here, not just unlinking in-app
- Switching to a new phone — you want to transfer your account, not log out; relinking to Facebook on the new device accomplishes this
- Sharing a device with another player — this is where the absence of a proper multi-account system becomes genuinely inconvenient
- Privacy concerns — revoking Facebook access through Facebook's own settings is the most thorough option 🔒
- Starting fresh with a new account — requires clearing app data and either using a different Facebook account or playing unlinked
The Variables That Affect Your Specific Situation
How you should handle logging out depends on several factors that only you can assess:
- Which platform you used to link your account (Facebook vs. Apple ID vs. Google Play Games vs. no link at all)
- Whether you're on iOS or Android, since the OS handles app data and account switching differently
- Your reason for wanting to log out — a device transfer, a privacy revocation, and a fresh start each call for different steps
- Whether your current progress is backed up to any external account before you make any changes
The absence of a built-in logout button isn't a bug — it's a deliberate design pattern in mobile gaming. But that design creates real friction when your needs don't match the assumed use case. The right path forward looks different for someone handing off an old phone than for someone who just wants to try a new account on the same device. 📱
