Log out of Uber in three taps on your phone
Open the Uber app and tap the account icon — usually a person silhouette or your profile picture in the bottom right corner. Scroll down to the very bottom of that menu and tap "Log Out" or "Sign Out". The app will ask you to confirm. Tap "Log Out" again, and you are signed out. The next time you open Uber, you will see the login screen.
On a computer, go to uber.com, click your profile picture in the top right, and select "Log Out" from the dropdown menu. You will be signed out immediately.
After you log out, your saved payment methods, ride history, and home and work addresses stay in Uber's system. They will reappear the next time you log back in with the same email or phone number. Logging out does not delete your account or your data.
Key Takeaways
- Tap your profile picture at the bottom right of the Uber app, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Log Out" to sign out on your phone.
- On the Uber website, click your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Log Out" from the menu.
- Logging out does not delete your account, payment methods, or ride history — they stay saved for your next login.
- If you cannot find the Log Out button, make sure you are looking at your account menu, not the app's main navigation.
- You can log back in anytime using the same email address or phone number you used to create your account.
Why you might want to log out
Log out of Uber if you are using a shared device, a borrowed phone, or a computer at work or school. Logging out prevents someone else from ordering rides on your account or seeing your saved addresses and payment information.
You should also log out if you are selling or giving away your phone, or if you suspect someone has accessed your account without permission. Logging out from the app does not log you out from other devices — if you logged in on a tablet or a friend's phone, you will need to log out there separately.
Log out from all devices at once
If you want to log out from every device where you are signed in, you can do that from your account settings on the Uber website. Go to uber.com, click your profile picture, and select "Settings". Look for an option called "Security" or "Active Sessions" (the exact name varies by region and app version).
In that section, you should see a list of devices where you are currently logged in. Select "Log Out of All Devices" or "End All Sessions". This signs you out everywhere at once. You will need to log back in on any device you want to use Uber again.
This method is useful if you lost your phone, if you think your password has been compromised, or if you want to make sure no one else can use your account while you are away for an extended time.
What happens after you log out
Once you log out, the Uber app will no longer show your account information. If you open the app, you will see the login screen asking for your email or phone number and password. You cannot request a ride, view your ride history, or access your saved payment methods until you log back in.
Your account itself remains active. Uber will not delete your data, cancel any scheduled rides, or charge you for logging out. If you have a ride scheduled for later, you will need to log back in before that ride time to confirm it or cancel it.
Troubleshooting: Log Out button is missing or not working
If you cannot find the Log Out button, make sure you are in your account menu. In the Uber app, the account icon is usually at the bottom right — it looks like a person or shows your profile picture. Tap it, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu. The Log Out button should be there.
If you see the menu but no Log Out option, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On an iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to close the app. On Android, tap the back button or swipe left. Then open Uber again and try the same steps.
If the Log Out button appears but does not work when you tap it, check your internet connection. Make sure you are connected to WiFi or mobile data. If the button still does not respond, try logging out from the Uber website instead — go to uber.com, click your profile picture, and select Log Out. This often works when the app is acting up.
Log out without losing your saved information
Logging out and logging back in does not erase anything. Your home and work addresses, saved payment methods, ride history, and preferences all stay in your account. When you log back in with the same email or phone number, everything will be exactly as you left it.
The only exception is if you delete your account entirely — that is different from logging out. Deleting your account removes all your data permanently and cannot be undone. Logging out is temporary and reversible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does logging out delete my saved addresses and payment methods?
No. Your home address, work address, saved credit cards, and other payment methods stay in your Uber account even after you log out. They will reappear the next time you log in with the same email or phone number.
Can I log out of Uber on my phone but stay logged in on my computer?
Yes. Logging out on one device does not affect your other devices. If you want to log out everywhere, you need to either log out on each device separately or use the "Log Out of All Devices" option in your account settings on the Uber website.
What if I forgot my password after I logged out?
Go to the Uber login screen and tap "Forgot Password". Enter your email address or phone number, and Uber will send you a link to reset your password. Click the link, create a new password, and then log in with your new password.
Will my scheduled rides be cancelled if I log out?
No. Logging out does not cancel any rides you have scheduled. However, you will need to log back in before your ride time to confirm it or make changes. If you do not log back in, the ride may be cancelled by the driver or by Uber.
Is logging out the same as deleting my Uber account?
No. Logging out signs you out of the app or website but keeps your account active. Deleting your account removes it permanently and erases all your data. If you only want to stop using Uber temporarily, log out. If you want to remove your account entirely, you can delete it in your account settings.
