How to sign out of Facebook on my Android???

8 years ago

I really, really don't like smart phones. It's such a pia to type or do anything.

Anyway, I decided to check FB while hubby was on the laptop. I can't sign out of the stupid thing now. Nowhere, nowhere do I see a Sign out button. Google doesn't own FB so why don't they have a sign out button? I know you can't sign out of Gmail, which is why I'd never use my gmail account on my phone........I just use it when I sign up for anything. I don't need to waste minutes on FB or Gmail. Grrrr

What does "sign-out" mean to you?

You most certainly can close any app - then it's not running - would that suffice? The paradigm of apps on a smartphone or tablet is a bit different than using a browser to sign on to a webpage with a PC.

As far as speed of input, have you tried voice input (press the microphone icon when you see it)? Or, the Swiftkey/Swype approach where you keep your finger down on the keyboard but move it quickly from letter to letter and it gives you choices for what you spelled. i can do either nearly as fast or faster as typing on a full size keyboard but it did take some practice.

Are you using the Facebook app or did you just open a browser and sign in?

I HATE using an app and so I don't have it, I just log in on Chrome.

see those three lines on the far right?

If you click that tab and scroll all the way to the bottom there is a log out option.

Hope it helps.

Larry, we are still in a drought here in OKC. The nice thing about snow is, altho it doesn't equal as much moisture as one would think (is it 10:1?), when it melts, it soaks in at a slower rate, and the ground actually gets more moisture than a hard rain, a lot of which runs off. Dawn, if we had a sustained cold, we would have probably had more plant damage. The ground is still warm, too. I don't know how the trees were affected, but plants lower to the ground were affected very little, if at all. You are absolutely right, Dawn, the GCs get a lot more attention. They grow faster than my plants, and I don't want to miss a moment in time. OT: The death of Whitney Houston this weekend, is just another reminder of how short life is. I was truly saddened by events. Her music got me thru a very difficult time in my life back in the 80s and I was a great admirer of her. Larry, I signed up for your Facebook page, but I'm not very good about posting. I will definitely read it, though, and thank you for friending me! Susan

unfortunately no Mike it could be enemies or those frienimies that once were friends and are no longer, often times they would do things like that simply because they can and they know it would be upsetting. Those people likely would not honor a request to please not do that. Or people that just get off on being A-holes they seem to be abundant. Also some people have been in groups or clubs etc and are no longer part of them, pictures of groups end up and not everyone in the group pic said it was ok to plaster their image every where. In fact I have been in pictures as a by stander and found my pic, had no idea it was there was never asked to be in a picture or to have it posted. Used to they had to ask permission to use your pictures and get signed release forms. Not to mention just being the polite thing to do. the thing about facebook is the opt out feature not opt in which makes if a bit different ballgame.

Does Facebook track my credit card?

Houzz tracks you pretty nearly as much as facebook, you know. That's one of the main reasons so many old gardenwebbers didn't come over. And just like facebook, merely going to a page on the site even if you don't sign up gives you the tracking cookies. I suspect for some of you, you might have read a thread about things here rather on facebook. ETA And google does, too. Most of you may not realize that even if you don't do a google search for something, if you go to a page with any google feature embedded in it, like a page that uses google analytics, or has a google searchbox for the site itself, or has any youtube embedded content, even if you don't click on the google stuff, you get tracked by google ever after unless you remove the cookies. As a matter of fact, in many browsers, even if you don't actually go to a site like that and have removed the cookies, you will still get them back if you start to type a similar URL. You know the convenient way your browser remembers the URL and starts to autocomplete it for you? The site is being pre-loaded in the background even if you're actually going to a different site with a similar name. To avoid that, in safari on a mac, go to the preferences>privacy and turn on "Do not load the top hit in the background." Not sure where it is in chrome and safari. If you don't like this, use ghostery, delete your cookies after visiting sites, use any private browsing function available, and check out disconnect.me for your phone. However, if you are using Windows 10, as a system it tracks every move you make on its own and there's not much you can do about that. Earlier versions of windows give the option to turn things off.

Blank pages on my Facebook
Q

Available space on your hard drive shouldn't have anything to do with it, unless maybe you were down to almost zero. I'm not a Facebook user but kinda, sorta understand how it works. If you go to one of your friends' page or to the page of a company does the same thing happen? If it's only happening on the "selling" page then I'd suspect it's something with how that page is set up or there's a bug on Facebook's end. If it's happening everywhere, then I'd be thinking something like Flash or Java. Do you use any kind of ad blocker extension or Ghostery?

Thanks Audrey, I've never had the app so I didn't know what the interface was like. Hopefully it helps Jasdip.

If an app's execution is ended (I don't mean moved away from, but ended by either shifting it off the screen of the "Recent Apps" display invoked by the icon at the bottom of most Android displays, or by stopping its running under Settings, Apps, Running), the session is no longer active. It's like closing a browser window. That's a "Sign Off", isn't it?

Texas, there it was!!!! We thought we had scrolled all the way to the bottom, but obviously not! We both worked on this thing last nite for ages. I don't use apps for yahoo email, fb, etc. I sign in to the website.

It's not like I'd be using FB a lot while out, just playing around on it last nite at home. There's home. I wonder why there isn't a Home button on the phone to get to my newsfeed, but I'll noodle around some more.

Now, how do I get right back up to the top on any site? Is there a button, like when I use the "home' button on the computer to take me instantly to the top of the page?
