Do you have multiple Discord accounts for different friend groups or communities? Do you stream games or host gaming servers and want to easily switch between accounts? Logging out of Discord on mobile can be confusing if you don‘t know where to look.
As a fellow streamer and gamer, I‘ll walk you through the steps to seamlessly log in and out of multiple Discord accounts on your phone or tablet. You‘ll also learn Discord best practices like logging out of all devices at once and whether Discord keeps chat logs.
Let‘s dive in and level up your Discord skills!
Why Log Out of Discord on Mobile?
Before learning how to log out, it helps to understand why you‘d want to in the first place. Here are some of the top reasons gamers and streamers log out of Discord on mobile:
-
Managing multiple accounts – Many of us have different Discord accounts for gaming, streaming, school friends, family, etc. Logging out lets you easily switch between these accounts.
-
Account security – Logging out prevents others from accessing your account if they borrow your phone. It‘s good security hygiene.
-
Using Discord PTB – Discord‘s Public Test Build (PTB) lets you preview new features. But it requires logging out of stable Discord first.
-
Troubleshooting issues – Sometimes logging out and back in can resolve quirky app issues that crop up.
-
Privacy – Logging out gives you a fresh start if you don‘t want your activity tracked between accounts.
Having convincing reasons to log out makes learning the steps more worthwhile. So let‘s get into it!
Step-by-Step Guide to Logging Out of Discord on Mobile
Logging out of the Discord mobile app only takes seconds once you know how to access the Log Out button hidden in your profile settings.
Follow these simple steps:
On iPhone and iPad:
-
Open Discord and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
-
Scroll down and tap the red "Log Out" button at the very bottom.
-
Confirm logging out on the pop-up message.
On Android devices:
-
Tap your profile picture, then User Settings.
-
Scroll down and tap the red "Log Out" button.
-
Confirm logging out on the pop-up message.
And that‘s all there is to it! Discord makes logging out easy once you find where the log out button is hiding.
Having trouble finding the Log Out button?
Some users report trouble finding the log out button because it‘s tucked away at the very bottom of the settings menu.
Here are a few tips if you‘re struggling:
-
Scroll all the way down – it‘s below everything else in settings.
-
Try landscape mode – this often reveals the bottom buttons.
-
Update Discord – old versions may have different menus.
-
Reinstall Discord – this resets any app glitches.
With these tricks, you‘ll be able to reliably find and tap that sneaky log out button every time!
Logging Back Into Your Other Discord Accounts
Once logged out, you can easily log back into your other Discord accounts right from the login screen:
-
Enter your email and password for the other account.
-
Click Log In.
-
You‘re now logged into your alternate account!
Rinse and repeat the logging out process whenever you want to switch accounts again.
Unfortunately, Discord doesn‘t allow simultaneous logins to multiple accounts on mobile like you can on desktop. But logging out and in again works perfectly fine.
Advanced Tip: Log Out of All Devices Instantly
If you want to log out of Discord on all connected devices, like when compromising an account, here‘s a power-user trick:
Change your Discord password.
Resetting your password immediately forces a log out on all devices. Those devices will then require your new login credentials.
It‘s quick and easy:
-
In User Settings, tap "Password".
-
Enter your current password.
-
Type your new password and confirm.
Boom! You‘re now logged out everywhere at once. Much faster than manually logging out of every device.
Use this if your account is ever compromised or you want to quickly reset everything. Just be sure to update your password anywhere it‘s saved locally too.
Discord User Statistics and Growth
To understand why properly logging in and out of Discord is so important, it helps to grasp Discord‘s massive user base.
Here are some eye-opening Discord user stats:
-
150 million active monthly users as of May 2021.
-
38% year-over-year user growth from 2020 to 2021.
-

-
58.7 million users were added in 2020 alone.
-

With dizzying growth and engagement like this, it‘s no wonder Discord has become the #1 chat app for gamers.

And with millions of accounts registered, securely logging in and out of your own becomes crucial.
Does Discord Keep Chat Logs?
While Discord provides fun and convenient features for gamers, it comes with the same privacy concerns as any tech platform.
Many users wonder – does Discord keep logs of your chat history forever?
The short answer is yes. Discord stores complete chat records on its servers with no automatic deletion. Even deleting messages yourself only removes them from your view of the channel.
Server moderators can access full message histories, including deleted messages.
The only way to fully erase Discord chat logs is to delete the server or channel altogether. But individual deleting has limited effectiveness.
So if privacy is a concern, be cautious of the personal info you share on Discord. Treat it as you would any other public online forum.

Discord keeps chat logs unless you delete servers.
