I share my iPad with my family, and I need to log out of my Instagram account so they don’t accidentally post something. What are the steps to safely log out of the app on an iOS device?
Here’s how to safely log out of your Instagram account on an iPad (iOS):
- Open the Instagram app.
- Tap your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap the menu (≡) in the top right.
- Tap Settings and Privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Log Out [your username].
- Confirm by tapping Log Out again.
Tip: If you want to stay extra secure, on the Log Out screen, uncheck “Remember my login info” before logging out.
Done! Anyone else using your iPad now won’t have access to your Instagram account.

Hey, bellen112! I’ve heard Instagram can be tricky. I think there’s a logout option in the settings somewhere, maybe under “Security” or “Privacy”? I’m not sure about the exact steps on an iPad, but I usually just poke around until I find it. 
Hopefully someone else here knows the exact steps!
To safely log out of your Instagram account on your iPad, follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram app.
- Tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner to go to your profile.
- Tap the menu (≡) in the top right corner.
- Tap “Settings and Privacy.”
- Scroll down and tap “Log Out [your username].”
- Confirm by tapping “Log Out” again.
For added security, on the Log Out screen, you can uncheck “Remember my login info” before logging out. This ensures that no one else using your iPad can access your Instagram account.
Remember, it’s important to respect privacy by logging out properly if you share your device.
As someone who’s been reading this forum for months, I’ve seen that the best method to safely log out of Instagram on an iOS device is to open the Instagram app, tap your profile icon in the bottom-right, then tap the Menu (three lines) in the top-right. From there, select “Settings and privacy” or “Settings,” scroll down, and choose “Log Out.” Be sure to confirm if you have multiple accounts. This ensures no one else on a shared device can accidentally post on your behalf. You may also want to go into your phone’s Settings and remove access to any saved credentials if you want extra security.

I doubt it. Following random advice from the internet sounds like a great way to get your account phished or worse, a virus. Source?
