How to log out of Pinterest on Android
Pinterest is a popular application that allows you to discover and save creative ideas, DIY projects, recipes, home inspirations, and much more. However, sometimes you may want to log out of Pinterest on Android but not know how to do it.
In this article, we will show you how to log out of Pinterest on Android in a few simple steps. Whether you want to disconnect from your account or close the application completely, follow this guide to do it quickly and easily.
Step 1: Open the Pinterest app and access settings
To log out of the Pinterest app on Android, you need to access the app settings. Here's how:
- Open the Pinterest app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- In your profile page, tap the three horizontal lines icon in the top right corner of the screen to open the side menu.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the list and tap "Settings".
Alternatively, you can directly access the Pinterest app settings by tapping and holding the app icon on your Android device's home screen. In the menu that appears, select "App info" and then "Settings".
Once you're in the Pinterest app settings, you can proceed with the next step to log out of the app.
Step 2: Select "Log out" from the settings menu
After opening the Pinterest app on your Android device, you should see your board with all the images and pins you've saved. To log out of the app, follow these steps:
- Click on your profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- You will be redirected to your profile page. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen to access the settings menu.
- In the settings menu, scroll down to find the "Log out" option.
- Click "Log out" and confirm your choice when prompted.
This way you will have logged out of the Pinterest app on your Android device. Remember that if you want to access the app again, you will need to log back in using your username and password.
Step 3: Confirm logging out of your Pinterest account
After selecting "Log out" from the drop-down menu, a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm logging out of your Pinterest account. This step is important to ensure that you are no longer connected to your account when using your Android device.
To confirm logging out, click on the "Log out" button in the dialog box. Once you do this, you will be disconnected from your account and redirected to the main screen of the Pinterest app.
- Remember that if you decide to access the app again in the future, you will need to enter your credentials to access your account.
- Also, if you have made any changes or saved anything during your current session on Pinterest, make sure to save them before exiting the app.
With these simple steps, you can easily log out of your Pinterest account on the Android app and maintain your online privacy and security. Always remember to be careful when it comes to your personal data online and take precautions to protect it.
Alternative option: Disconnecting from Pinterest through Google account settings
If you don't want to uninstall the Pinterest app from your Android device but still want to log out of the account, you can also do so through your Google account settings.
Step 1:
- Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
- Tap on the "Accounts" button under the "Account and backup" section.
Step 2:
- Find the Google account that you are using to access Pinterest.
- Tap on the "Remove account" button and confirm your choice.
After removing the Google account, you will need to log in again on all apps that require it, including Pinterest. However, this method allows you to simultaneously log out of all services connected to your Google account, making the process simpler and faster.
Remember that logging out of Pinterest or removing the Google account from your Android device does not delete any data saved within the app. If you want to permanently delete all content associated with your Pinterest account, you will need to delete it separately before performing these operations. Alternatively, you can also consider temporarily deactivating your account instead of deleting it completely.
Conclusion
