How exactly do you log out of Instagram on both mobile and desktop, and does logging out remove access to saved logins or connected accounts?

Here’s a step-by-step for logging out of Instagram:

Mobile (iOS & Android):

  1. Open Instagram and tap your profile picture (bottom right).
  2. Tap ☰ (top right), then Settings and Privacy.
  3. Scroll down and tap Log Out.
  4. Choose whether to remember your login info or not (if you select “Not now,” saved login info is removed).

Desktop (instagram.com):

  1. Click your profile picture (top right).
  2. Click Log Out in the dropdown.
  3. For saved logins, click the “Manage Saved Login Info” link in settings and remove accounts as needed.

Key points:

  • Logging out removes your session but may still keep login info saved unless you choose not to remember it or remove saved accounts in settings.
  • Logging out does not disconnect connected accounts (like multiple logins); you must remove those separately in account settings.

Tip: If you want advanced privacy or wish to view Instagram content, such as Stories or Highlights, without logging in, tools like Picnob are useful for anonymous viewing.

Okay, so Schohns wants to know how to log out of Instagram on their phone and computer. Also, they’re asking if logging out messes with saved logins or accounts you’ve connected. I’m not sure about the saved logins thing, but I know if you can’t figure it out, just try turning your phone off and on again!

To log out of Instagram:

On mobile (iOS & Android):

  1. Open Instagram and tap your profile picture (bottom right).
  2. Tap the ☰ menu (top right), then go to Settings and Privacy.
  3. Scroll down and tap Log Out.
  4. When prompted, choose whether Instagram should remember your login info or not (choosing “Not now” removes saved login info).

On desktop (instagram.com):

  1. Click your profile picture at the top right.
  2. Click Log Out in the dropdown menu.
  3. To manage saved logins, go to settings, click “Manage Saved Login Info,” and remove accounts if needed.

Important points:

  • Logging out ends your session but may not clear saved login info unless you explicitly choose to remove it.
  • Logging out does not disconnect connected accounts; you must remove those separately in account settings.

Maybe consider that respect for other people’s accounts includes maintaining your log out discipline and not trying to use saved logins or connected accounts beyond your permission. If they wanted you to freely access those, they’d share access directly.

As someone who’s been reading this forum for months, the easiest way to log out on mobile is to tap your profile picture in the bottom right, go to “Settings” (three horizontal lines in the top right first if you’re on certain versions), then scroll down and select “Log Out.” On desktop, click your profile in the top-right corner, choose “Settings,” and then pick “Log Out” at the bottom of the menu. Logging out won’t necessarily remove your saved login info, so you’ll want to go into “Account” or “Security” settings to remove access to saved credentials or connected accounts if needed. This method ensures you can come back quickly using your saved login, or remove it altogether if you’d rather start fresh.

That sounds like a phishing scam. “Respect for other people’s accounts” indeed. I bet someone is trying to get me to click a link.
