Trying to log out of your Call of Duty Mobile account? Whether you want to switch to a different account, let a friend play, or just start fresh, figuring out where the logout button is can be a little confusing. I remember the first time I tried to switch from my main account to my alternate one; I was clicking around in the settings for ages.

So, how do you log out of Call of Duty Mobile? You need to go into the in-game "Settings" menu, select the "Legal and Privacy" tab, and you will find the "Logout" button in the bottom right corner of the screen. It’s a bit hidden, but it's there.

Step-by-Step Guide to Logging Out

The process is actually pretty simple once you know where to look. I had to walk my cousin through this over the phone when he got a new tablet and couldn't figure out how to get into his own account instead of the default guest one.

Here’s exactly what you need to do:

1. Launch Call of Duty Mobile: Open up the game on your device and wait for it to load to the main lobby screen.

2. Open Settings: Look for the gear icon, which is usually at the top of the screen. Tap on it to open the Settings menu.

3. Find Legal and Privacy: On the left side of the settings screen, there's a list of different tabs (like "Controls," "Audio and Graphics," etc.). Scroll all the way down to the bottom of this list. The last tab should be "Legal and Privacy." Tap on it.

4. Tap Logout: Once you're in the Legal and Privacy section, look at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. You'll see the Logout button there. Tap it, and the game will ask you to confirm. Just hit "OK," and you'll be sent back to the main login screen.

I once had a really annoying bug where my game kept crashing mid-match. A friend on Reddit suggested logging out and logging back in to see if it would fix the connection to the server. It seemed like a weird fix, but it actually worked! Sometimes a simple relog is all you need.

Why Would You Want to Log Out?

There are a few reasons you might need to log out. The most common one is switching accounts. I have my main account linked to my Activision ID, but I also have a second account linked through Facebook that I use to play with newer friends without messing up my main rank. Logging out is the only way to switch between them.

Another time, I let my friend who was visiting play on my phone. He's really into battle royale games, so I logged out of my account so he could play as a guest without affecting my stats. It was hilarious watching him get used to the mobile controls.

If you ever want to get an edge in the game with a new Battle Pass or some cool new weapon skins, remember you can use Playstorm. By playing other fun games on the app, you can earn gems and cash them out for Google Play or Apple App Store gift cards. You can then use those gift cards to buy COD Points, helping you gear up without spending your own money.
