How to Log Out In the App
It only takes two taps of the screen to log out of Facebook through the app. First, select the Hamburger icon, and then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Log Out.

How Do I Log Off All Sessions of Facebook?
Given the number of Facebook-enabled devices out there and how frequently we login to Facebook in other locations, it's easy to lose track of where you're logged in. Thankfully, Facebook has a feature to pick and choose which account is currently logged in or to log out everywhere.
The following is how to log out of all locations via the web browser and the mobile app.
How to End All Sessions in a Browser
Your Facebook privacy settings can get even more in-depth if you go a little deeper into its menus.
Click the drop down menu at the top right corner of the browser and select Settings & privacy.
Choose Settings.
Once in Settings, select Security and Login.
Scroll to Where You're Logged In and select the See More drop down menu for a list of all active logins.
