The Simple Method: Settings App

Open your Settings app. It’s that little gear icon hiding on your home screen.

Tap on your name at the very top. You know, the one that makes you feel slightly important every time you see it.

Scroll ALLLL the way down. Keep going, almost there... Yes! There it is: Sign Out. Tap it like you mean it.

Apple will politely ask if you want to keep a copy of your data. This is like them asking if you want one last slice of pizza before you go on a diet. Up to you!

The Sign Out button is at the bottom of your Apple Account settings in iOS.

Enter your Apple ID password. This is like the secret handshake to get out of the Apple club, temporarily of course.

Tap Turn Off. And poof you are now signed out.

Signing Out From Your Mac

Now, let’s move on to your trusty Mac. The gatekeeper of all your creative endeavors (and cat videos). Time to wrangle it in.

The System Settings Way

Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen. It's that iconic little apple that makes you feel oh-so-sophisticated.

Select System Settings. This might also say System Preferences, depending on which version of macOS you're rocking.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac

Click on your name at the top. Again with the importance!

Scroll down (yes, again) and click Sign Out. Brace yourself, it's happening.

Your Mac will ask if you want to keep copies of your data, you can choose whatever works best for you!

Enter your Apple ID password. You know the drill.

Click Turn Off. You're officially off the grid, Mac-style!

Go to Settings (on your iPhone or iPad) or System Settings (on your Mac).

Tap your name at the top.

Scroll down and find the device you want to sign out of.

Tap on the device's name.
