If Facebook keeps signing you out, the cause is usually a browser issue, a corrupted app session, a security check, or a problem with saved cookies. In many cases, you can fix it without changing your password or contacting support.
The best approach is to start with the most likely causes first: check your browser or app, review your login sessions, and then move on to security and account settings if the problem continues.
1. Check for a Browser or App Session Problem
The most common reason Facebook keeps logging you out is that the session data it uses to keep you signed in is damaged or being cleared. This can happen after a browser update, an app update, or when privacy settings block cookies.
- If you use a browser, make sure it is not set to clear cookies or browsing data every time you close it.
- Try Facebook in a different browser to see whether the issue is tied to one browser only.
- If you use the Facebook app, force close it and open it again, then sign back in.
- Update the browser or app if an update is available, since session bugs are often fixed in newer versions.
2. Review Your Saved Logins and Connected Sessions
If Facebook detects unusual activity or a login from another device, it may end your session for security reasons. Checking your active sessions can reveal whether your account is being signed in somewhere else, or whether Facebook has marked a session as suspicious.
- Open Facebook settings and go to the security or password area.
- Look for a section such as Where You're Logged In or Active Sessions.
- Sign out of devices you do not recognize.
- If you suspect someone else has access, change your password immediately and enable two-factor authentication.
3. Clear Corrupted Cookies or Reinstall the App
When browser cookies or app data become corrupted, Facebook may behave normally at first and then log you out again when it tries to refresh the session. Clearing that broken data gives Facebook a clean start.
- On a browser, clear cookies and cached site data for Facebook, then sign in again.
- If you use the app on Android or iPhone, clear the app cache if your device supports it.
- If clearing cache does not help, uninstall the Facebook app and reinstall it from the official store.
- After reinstalling, sign in once and test whether the app stays logged in over time.
4. Check Security Settings, Password Changes, and Device Trust
Facebook may keep logging you out if it thinks your account is under risk, if your password was recently changed, or if you are using a device or network that it does not trust. This is more likely if you sign in from public Wi-Fi, use a VPN, or frequently switch between devices.
- Make sure your password has not been changed without your knowledge.
- Turn off any VPN or privacy tool temporarily and test Facebook again.
- If you are using public or shared devices, avoid saving the login and sign out when finished.
- Enable two-factor authentication so Facebook can better recognize trusted sign-ins.
When Facebook Still Logs You Out
If none of these fixes work, the issue may be tied to a specific device, an outdated operating system, or a temporary Facebook-side problem. Try logging in from a different device to compare the behavior. If Facebook stays signed in there, the problem is probably local to your phone, browser, or app.
- Test Facebook on another device or browser
- Check whether a browser extension is blocking cookies or scripts
- Make sure your phone or computer date and time are correct
- Look for account warnings or login alerts in Facebook security settings
Which Fix Should You Try First?
Start with the simplest possibility: browser cookies, app data, or a blocked session. If that does not help, check your active logins and security settings next. Most Facebook logout problems are caused by one of those four areas, so you usually do not need to try every fix at once.
