How to Log Out of the Reddit App

No matter what topic sparks your interest, Reddit’s staggering number of communities makes it easy to find link-minded people who share your passion all from the convivence of your smartphone using Reddit’s official mobile app.

While the Reddit mobile app is convenient, there’s a few aspects of it that can be confusing for new users. With features like anonymous browsing and multiple account sign in, even logging out of Reddit can be frustrating.

In this article, we’ll show you how to log out of Reddit on your Android, iPhone, or PC.

Things to Consider Before Logging Out of the Reddit App

Before you log out of the Reddit app, you might consider some other options first. You might want to sign out of Reddit because you want to login and browse under a different account.

You can actually stay signed into both accounts and freely switch between them whenever you please. All you need to do is add an account to the Reddit mobile app. This is far easier than juggling multiple logins whenever you want to browse under a different account.

Another reason you might want to log out of Reddit is because you want to browse anonymously. Well, there’s good news for you there too because you can actually browse the Reddit mobile app anonymously without having to log out of your account.

If you’re still set on logging out of your Reddit account, then we’ll show you how below. There are great reasons to sign out of Reddit after all, such as making sure nobody can access your account if they get a hold of your phone.
