While Amazon is one of the most successful companies, the user application can often take time to navigate. We recently spent some time searching for the sign-out button on the Amazon app. If you can relate, we’ll show you how to log out of the Amazon app or website.
Apart from signing out of Amazon from the device you are currently using, you can also remotely sign out of Amazon from your other devices. We’ll show you how to do that as well. Before proceeding, let us understand what happens when you log out from your Amazon account.

What Happens When You Log Out of Amazon
When you log out of the Amazon app on your smartphone or the web browser, it will no longer be linked to your account. This means your saved addresses, purchase history, payment methods, and wish lists cannot be accessed. You will also not receive any notifications regarding your orders from the Amazon app on your device.
Further, signing out of the Amazon app also removes all the cookies and temporary data associated with the current session. Additionally, logging out of the Amazon shopping app will log you out from the Amazon Prime Video, Kindle, and Amazon Music apps. So, proceed with caution.

Step 1: Open the Amazon website on your web browser.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Account & Lists’ button in the top right corner of the toolbar.
Step 3: Click on Sign Out.
This will log you out from the Amazon account.
Log Out of Amazon App (iPhone and Android)
While it is pretty easy to log out of your Amazon account on a web browser, it is tricky to do the same on the mobile app. Intuitively, we searched for the Log Out option in the account section of the app.
However, we later found the sign-out button tucked under the Settings option, hidden on the Menu page. Here’s how you can find it.
Step 1: Open the Amazon app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Tap on the three horizontal lines icon in the bottom toolbar. Scroll down and select Settings.
Step 3: Tap on Sign Out.
Step 4: Tap on Sign Out again to confirm.
This will log you out from the Amazon account on your smartphone.
