Follow this quick guide to sign out of the YouTube app on your Android device whenever you need to switch accounts or use the app anonymously.
How to log out of YouTube on Android
These three simple steps will have you signed out in seconds.
- Open the YouTube app. The icon looks like a white play button in a red rectangle, and you can find it in your apps menu.
- Tap your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open the account menu.
- Tap the Sign out button in the account menu to log out of your account.
Pro tip: To switch accounts without fully signing out, tap your profile icon and select Switch account from the menu instead.
After signing out, you can log back in with a different account by tapping Sign in at the bottom of the profile menu. This is great for managing multiple accounts on shared devices.
You can also continue using YouTube anonymously to browse videos without personalized recommendations. For added privacy, consider clearing your app cache or browsing history in your device settings afterward.
