If you’ve ever passed your phone to a friend to play a quick match, or wanted to switch between your main ranked account and smurf account for casual games, you’ve probably struggled to find the right menu option at some point. Learning how to sign out Mobile Legends isn’t as obvious as it is in most other mobile games, since the option is buried a few layers deep in the account settings, not front and center on the main lobby screen. I’ve had friends get stuck on this for 10 minutes before when I first started playing, back when I wanted to log into my cousin’s account to test out his new legendary skin, so I know how frustrating it can be when you can’t find the button or run into random errors when you try to log out. This guide walks you through every possible sign out scenario, fixes for the most common issues, and safety tips to make sure you don’t lose your years of hard-earned skins and rank progress when you log out.
How to Sign Out Mobile Legends on Android and iOS Devices
The sign out process is almost identical across Android and iOS devices, so you can follow these steps no matter what phone you use. First, open the game and wait for it to load completely to the main lobby screen, where you can see the battle, shop, and heroes icons. Don’t try to access settings while the game is still loading, as this can cause glitches that stop the sign out function from working. Next, tap the profile icon in the top left corner of the screen, the one with your account avatar and your in-game name. This will open your profile dashboard, where you can see your rank, match history, and collection stats.
From your profile page, look for the Account tab on the right hand side of the screen, usually listed below the Battle Stats, Favorites, and Achievements tabs. Tap that tab to open your account settings, where you can see all your linked account options, change your password, and find the sign out button. Scroll down to the bottom of the account page, and you’ll see a red “Sign Out” button near the bottom, right above the “Delete Account” option. Tap that button, and a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm that you want to sign out of your current account. Tap confirm, and you’ll be logged out immediately and taken back to the game’s login screen.
One thing to note here is that if your account is linked to Google Play Games, Apple Game Center, Facebook, or TikTok, signing out of Mobile Legends will also disconnect that linked session for Mobile Legends on that device, but it won’t log you out of the social platform itself across your whole phone. That means if you want to log into a different ML account linked to the same Google or Facebook account, you’ll need to log out of that platform on your device first before logging into the new ML account. Always make sure you remember the login details for your account before you sign out, especially if you haven’t logged into it manually in months or years. A lot of players link their accounts when they first start playing and forget their passwords, so they get locked out when they try to log back in.
Signing Out of Guest and Unlinked Mobile Legends Accounts
Guest accounts are a common way for new players to test out the game without linking to any social platform or Moonton account before they decide if they want to keep playing long term. But signing out of a guest account comes with a lot more risks than signing out of a linked account, so you need to be extra careful before you tap that sign out button if you’re using a guest profile. Guest accounts are tied directly to your device’s local storage, not to a cloud server, so all your progress is saved only on your phone, not on Moonton’s servers.
If you want to keep your guest account progress before signing out, you need to link it to a Moonton account, Google Play, Game Center, Facebook, or TikTok first. You can do this from the same Account tab where you find the sign out button, by tapping the “Link Account” option and following the prompts to connect to your preferred platform. Linking only takes 30 seconds, and it will save all your progress to the cloud, so you can log into your account on any device later. Guest accounts that are not linked to any third-party service will be erased permanently once you sign out, even if you log back in on the same device.
I learned this the hard way a few years back, when I made a guest account to test out a new hero on my secondary phone, and I signed out without linking it. I lost all the battle points and skins I had earned on that account, and there was no way to get it back. If you don’t care about keeping the guest account progress, you can go ahead and sign out normally, just be aware that you won’t be able to access that account again once you log out. If you’re signing out of a guest account to sell or give away your old phone, make sure you factory reset the device after signing out to make sure no one can access any of your personal data or account details.
Fixes for Common Mobile Legends Sign Out Errors
Even if you follow all the steps correctly, you might run into common errors that stop you from signing out of your account. Most of these errors are caused by minor cache glitches, outdated game versions, or linked account session issues, and they’re really easy to fix. I’ve run into almost all of these errors at some point, so these fixes are all tested and work for 90% of common sign out problems:
- Restart your game and device first: Minor cache glitches often block the sign out function, and a quick reboot fixes 70% of common sign out issues. Just close the game completely, remove it from your recent apps list, turn your phone off and back on, then open the game again and try signing out.
- Clear your game cache (Android only): Go to your device settings, find Mobile Legends under apps, tap storage, and clear cache. This won’t erase your game data or account progress, it just clears temporary files that might be causing glitches. iOS users can offload and reinstall the game if they’re having cache issues, since iOS doesn’t have a separate clear cache option for apps.
- Check for active game updates: Outdated game versions often have broken account features, so update to the latest version from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store before trying again. Moonton regularly pushes updates to fix account security bugs and glitches, so running the latest version will also keep your account safer.
- Log out of your linked social account first: If you linked your ML account to Facebook or Google, log out of that account on your device browser or the social app first, then try signing out of the game again. This fixes issues where the game is stuck syncing with your linked social account session.
If none of these fixes work, you can contact Moonton support through the in-game help center, and they can help you resolve the issue within 24 hours. Never clear your game data instead of cache, as this will erase all locally saved settings and unlinked guest account progress. I’ve had friends make this mistake before and lose months of progress on their guest accounts, so it’s better to be extra careful when you’re messing with storage settings.
Best Practices to Keep Your Account Safe When Signing Out
Signing out of your account isn’t just about switching accounts, it’s also about keeping your account safe from unauthorized access, especially if you’re logging into your account on a shared or public device. A lot of players lose their accounts every year because they forget to sign out of their accounts on friends’ phones or public gaming cafes, so following these simple best practices will help you keep your hard-earned skins and rank progress safe.
First, never sign into your main ranked account on a device you don’t own or trust, if you can avoid it. If you have to log into your account on a friend’s phone or a public device, make sure you sign out immediately after you’re done playing, and don’t check the “remember me” or “keep me signed in” box when you log in. Moonton support will never ask for your account password or linked social account login details, so ignore any messages asking for that information, even if they claim they can give you free skins or fix your banned account.
Second, enable two-factor authentication on all your linked accounts, including your Moonton account, Google account, and Facebook account. This adds an extra layer of security, so even if someone gets your password, they can’t log into your account without the verification code sent to your phone or email. If you sign into your account on a device you don't own, change your account password right after you get back to your own device to prevent unauthorized access. This is especially important if you used a public device or a friend’s phone that other people have access to.
Third, don’t share your account credentials with anyone, even people you know in real life. A lot of players get their accounts stolen by friends or clan members they trusted, and once someone changes the linked email and password, it’s really hard to get your account back, even if you contact support. If you want to let a friend play on your account, use the guest feature or let them use their own account instead of giving them your login details.
Whether you’re switching between your main and smurf accounts, selling your old phone, or just making sure your account is safe after playing on a shared device, knowing how to sign out Mobile Legends is a simple but important skill every Mobile Legends player should know. The process is really straightforward once you know where to find the sign out button, and most common errors are easy to fix with the tips we listed above. I’ve used these steps hundreds of times over the past 6 years I’ve been playing the game, and I’ve never lost an account or run into a sign out issue I couldn’t fix with the fixes we shared here. Just remember to always link your account to a verified platform before signing out, and follow the safety tips, and you won’t have any problems keeping your account safe and secure.
