# Signing out of Instagram everywhere, and checking for sessions that aren't yours

Published 23 October 2026 3 min read [By the GetMyInstaBack team](https://getmyinstaback.com/about/)

**In one minute:** The **Where you're logged in** screen, inside Accounts Center's password and security settings, lists recent sessions and lets you sign selected ones out. The quickest way to end every other session is a new password: Instagram signs out all devices when it changes. Then shut the side doors: two-factor, trusted devices, connected apps and your contact details. Already locked out? Then this isn't your page; the hacked-account route is.

## Find your session list

Instagram is moving people from Accounts Center to Meta Account, so the label depends on your app:

1. **Settings** › **Accounts Center** (or Meta Account).
2. **Password and security**.
3. **Where you're logged in**: recent sessions for every account in that Accounts Center.

Don't see it yet? Older layouts show **Login Activity** directly in Settings.

## Signing out the strangers

| Screen | How |
|---|---|
| Where you're logged in | Pick your account, scroll down, **Select devices to log out**, tick them, confirm with **Log out** |
| Older Login Activity | **This Was Me** for your own; **This Wasn't Me** for unknowns, which starts a password reset; each entry's menu also has Log out |

Unsure about an entry? Instagram's advice for an unfamiliar place or device is to assume it isn't you and secure the account.

## Everyone out in one move

Going down the list isn't necessary. Instagram says a password change automatically signs out every device on the account, suspicious ones included, and each has to sign in again.

1. Choose a new password used nowhere else: at least six characters mixing numbers, letters and symbols (Instagram recommends eight or more).
2. Sign back in on your own devices.

## The side doors

An intruder may have planted a way to return:

- **Two-factor authentication.** Switch it on, preferably with an authenticator app; if it's on, check its phone number and devices. Dropping a device from two-factor leaves its session open, so end that as well.
- **Trusted devices.** They never get asked for a code; prune the list in the two-factor settings.
- **Connected apps and websites.** Settings › Your app and media › Website permissions › Apps and Websites: remove what you don't recognise. Any app still marked active keeps access to whatever you shared with it.
- **Email, phone, linked accounts.** Only your own details on the account, and nothing unknown in Accounts Center.

Full list: [security checklist](https://getmyinstaback.com/blog/instagram-account-security-checklist/).

## Signing out of this phone or computer

Profile › menu (top right) › **Log out** at the bottom. On a borrowed or public device, refuse the offer to remember your login. Remembered accounts can be cleared from the login screen (Options › Remove profiles from this device); the account itself stays untouched.

## Can't get in yourself?

Once the password, email or number has been changed, none of the above is reachable. Go to the [hacked-account steps](https://getmyinstaback.com/guides/instagram-account-hacked/).

## Common questions

### How can I see who's signed in to my Instagram?

Accounts Center › Password and security › Where you're logged in lists recent sessions; older layouts call it Login Activity, in Settings.

### Can I end every session in one go?

Yes: a new password does exactly that. Individual devices can be signed out too.

### If I remove a phone from two-factor, is it signed out?

No; end its session separately or change the password.

### Does clearing a remembered login affect my account?

No. It just forgets the account on that phone; nothing is deactivated or deleted.

## Found a session that isn't yours?

Describe the unfamiliar sessions and any changes you've spotted. A free reply sets your priorities. Passwords and codes stay with you.
