Signing out of the YouTube app on an Android device is a straightforward process that allows users to switch accounts or use the app anonymously. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
To log out of YouTube on Android, users need to follow three simple steps. First, they need to open the YouTube app, which can be found in the apps menu and is identified by a white play button in a red rectangle icon.
Once the app is open, users should tap their profile icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen. This action will open the account menu, where the sign-out option is available.
The final step is to tap the “Sign out” button in the account menu to log out of the account. Alternatively, users can switch accounts without fully signing out by tapping their profile icon and selecting “Switch account” from the menu instead.
After signing out, users can log back in with a different account by tapping “Sign in” at the bottom of the profile menu. This feature is particularly useful for managing multiple accounts on shared devices.
Users also have the option to continue using YouTube anonymously, browsing videos without receiving personalized recommendations. For added privacy, consider clearing the app cache or browsing history in the device settings afterward.
