Generally the sign out button for Gmail on the web, will appear when you click on your profile picture on the extreme right, what do you do when your avatar or profile pic doesn’t appear? This happened to me yesterday for one of my Google accounts, and to other users in the past, could be a temporary glitch on Google’s side.
What you should do in that situation to sign out of Gmail is to, hover mouse pointer over the right of notification icon, and click on the not-clearly visible circle to see the popup with Google profile picture and sign out button or visiting https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?elo=1 will do.
Gmail now Searches for Missing Emails in Spam Folder Also
You should also try the following one by one
- Disabling all labs features if you’ve enabled any to see by using https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0
- Check if this happens in incognito window or private browsing mode in the browser.
- Try Gmail in other browsers.
Note: The issue for me lasted for a short period of time, now I can able to log out of my Gmail as usual without any problems.
Have you faced this?
The logout button is not available in both of my gmail accounts. However, it only happens when I am in the Torch browser. If I open gmail in Firefox it’s as it should be with google apps, notification bell and profile picture. I performed all of the suggested options above with no success. Anyone have an answer or ideas how to solve this in Torch?
Right click on the letter on the top right or sometimes that letter its a picture and open it in a new tap and will see the sign out button on the new tap.
thanks
Hi, The logout button is not appearing in both my gmail accounts and this happened, after I accessed my gmail accounts from another country than by home country. I tried clearing all cookies and cache from the Tab which I had used while travelling, as was suggested in one of the sites and still the problem persists and i need to re-start the computer each time, I want to switch between my gmail accounts. This is happening in TORCH browser
Yeah TORCH browser needs to fix that ASAP.
A way around could be by opening “google.com” in a new tab in Torch Browser; that will give us the “precious button” that we’re all looking for in the Torch browser.
Yes Torch team has to fix the issue, because Torch browser isn’t a Gmail supported browser, so don’t expect Google to fix this for you.
Hi everyone! The button is still there. Me too, i thought its missing but its there. Try to point your mouse pointer at the top right button of the screen where we usually do everytime we want to sign out. If you mouse over the top right most area for at least 5 seconds, the button will appear. Maybe its a gmail bug where the color of the button is thesame with your current screen theme. You thought its not there but its still there. Its just that, both the color of the button and the screen is the same.
I’m German and had a similar problem at home after signing in from my office computer. Didn’t find a solution in my own language. After reading this I “found” the invisible signout button. Seemed to me, my photo was missing. Clicked the button and uploaded a new one for my profile: the button is visible again. Great! Thanks for your help!
For me the logout is missing when i use tablet and browser. On the computers browser it is there. I want’t to use the browser, not the app on my tablet.
