Logging out of your Webull app on your phone is a crucial step for securing your financial information, especially if you share your device or simply want to ensure your trading account isn't easily accessible. While Webull provides robust security features like two-factor authentication, actively logging out adds an extra layer of protection. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, no matter if you're an Android or iOS user.
Ready to secure your Webull account? Let's dive in!
Understanding Why Logging Out is Important
Before we get to the "how," let's quickly touch upon the "why." Your Webull account holds sensitive financial data and gives you access to execute trades. Leaving your account logged in on a device, especially one that might be accessible to others, is like leaving your wallet open on a public bench. It increases the risk of unauthorized access, potential misuse of your account, or exposure of your personal information. Regularly logging out, particularly on shared or public devices, is a fundamental security best practice.

| How To Log Out Of Webull App On Phone |
Step 1: Locate and Open the Webull App
This might seem obvious, but it's the first crucial step in our logout journey!
1.1 Find the Webull Icon
For Android Users: Look for the distinctive red and white Webull icon on your home screen, in your app drawer, or by searching for "Webull" in your device's search bar.
For iOS Users: Similarly, locate the Webull icon on your home screen, in your App Library, or by using Spotlight Search.
1.2 Launch the Application
Tap the Webull icon to open the application. If you're already logged in, you'll likely be taken to your dashboard or the market overview. If you're not logged in, you'll see the login screen, in which case you don't need to log out – you're already out!
Step 2: Navigate to Your Account/Profile Section
The logout option is typically nestled within your personal account or profile settings. Webull's interface is generally consistent across iOS and Android, making this step straightforward.

2.1 Access the Main Menu
Look for an icon that represents a "menu" or "profile." This is most commonly found in one of two places:
Bottom Right Corner (Most Common): You'll often see an icon that looks like a person's silhouette, a gear/cog, or simply three horizontal lines (a "hamburger" menu). This is usually labeled "Menu" or "Me."
Top Left Corner: In some app designs, the menu might be located here, also often a "hamburger" icon.
Tap on this icon to open the main menu or your personal profile page.
2.2 Identify the "Settings" or "Account" Option
Once in the main menu, you'll see a list of options. Scroll through them carefully. You are looking for an option explicitly named "Settings," "Account," or "Manage Brokerage Account." It might also be under a broader category like "Profile & Settings."
This is where the magic begins! Tap on "Settings" (or the equivalent option).
Step 3: Finding the Logout Option Within Settings
Now that you're in the settings menu, we're just a few taps away from logging out.
3.1 Scroll Through Settings Options
The settings menu can sometimes be extensive, with various preferences and configurations. Carefully scroll down the list of options.
3.2 Locate "Log Out" or "Sign Out"
You are looking for an option that clearly states "Log Out" or "Sign Out." This is almost universally positioned towards the bottom of the settings menu for security reasons, making it less likely to be accidentally tapped.
It's often highlighted or distinct from other settings to make it easily recognizable.
3.3 Confirm Your Logout
Once you tap "Log Out," the Webull app will typically present a confirmation prompt. This is a standard security measure to prevent accidental logouts.
The prompt will usually ask something like: "Are you sure you want to log out?"
Tap "Yes," "Confirm," or "Log Out" again on this prompt to finalize the process.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Step 4: Verification of Logout
Congratulations! You should now be successfully logged out of your Webull app.

4.1 Observe the App State
After confirming the logout, the app should revert to the login screen. This is your visual confirmation that you are no longer logged into your account. You will see fields for entering your phone number/email and password.
4.2 (Optional) Attempt a Relog
If you want to be absolutely certain, you can try to re-enter the app. If it takes you directly to the login screen and requires your credentials, you have successfully logged out. Do not enter your credentials unless you intend to log back in.
Important Considerations for Webull App Security
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Webull strongly recommends enabling 2FA for enhanced security. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a code from your phone (or an authenticator app) in addition to your password when you log in. Even if someone gets your password, they won't be able to access your account without this code. Make sure 2FA is enabled in your Webull security settings!
Strong Passwords: Always use a unique, complex password for your Webull account. Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.
Public Wi-Fi: Be cautious when accessing your Webull account on public Wi-Fi networks. These networks can be less secure and potentially expose your data. Consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) if you must access your account on public Wi-Fi.
Device Security: Keep your phone's operating system updated and use a strong passcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition to unlock your device. This prevents unauthorized access to your apps, including Webull.
Phishing Scams: Be vigilant against phishing attempts. Webull will never ask for your password via email or text message. Always verify the sender of any suspicious communication.
