To sign out of Slack mobile, the exact steps depend on whether you are using an Android or iOS device. For Android, you must tap your workspace name in the sidebar, select Sign out, and confirm in your browser; for iOS, the process is not officially documented by Slack, but the general mobile workspace-list flow is the most likely method.
How to sign out of Slack mobile on Android
Slack’s current help page documents a verified, step-by-step path for signing out on Android. This is the only official method currently confirmed for mobile devices.
- Open the Slack app on your Android device.
- Open the workspace list or sidebar.
- Tap your workspace name in the sidebar.
- Select Sign out.
- In the browser that opens, tap Sign Out From Browser to confirm.
If you prefer using the mobile workspace-list flow, you can also swipe right, tap the control next to your workspace name, select Sign Out, and then confirm with another Sign Out tap. This path appears in Slack’s help text but is not clearly separated from the iOS instructions. On Android, the path to sign out is through the menu icon in the top-left corner, then Settings, then your workspace name, then Sign out of Slack.
How to sign out of Slack mobile on iOS
Slack’s help page does not currently document a clear, verified iPhone-specific sign-out path, menu path, or list of supported iPhone versions. However, the general mobile workspace-list flow is the most likely method for iOS devices. To try it:
- Open the Slack app on your iPhone.
- Tap the 'You' icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen to begin the sign-out process.
- Navigate to the 'You' screen, then tap 'Settings' to find the sign-out option.
- Swipe right to open the workspace list.
- Tap the control next to your workspace name.
- Select Sign Out.
- Confirm by tapping Sign Out again.
If you are using Face ID or Touch ID for authentication, you will be prompted to confirm your identity before signing out. Signing out of Slack on iOS will log you out of all workspaces you are currently signed into. Because Slack has not published a verified iOS path, you should check your app version and test this flow. If it does not work, the steps may differ in your specific version of the Slack app for iOS.
Troubleshooting Slack mobile sign-out issues
If the sign-out process fails, try these practical tips before contacting support. First, check your internet connection; a weak or interrupted connection can prevent the sign-out from completing. Second, force-close the Slack app and reopen it before attempting to sign out again. This can refresh the app and resolve temporary issues. If the problem persists, uninstalling and reinstalling the Slack app on your device can sometimes fix persistent sign-out problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need to sign out of Slack on my mobile phone?
To protect privacy on a shared device, troubleshoot notification or connectivity issues, or take a break from messages.

No.
