Try These Things First

Fix 1: Allow Your Browser to Save Cookies (Computer)

One of the most common reasons browsers like Chrome or Edge may log you out of X is if you have prevented them from saving cookies. Hence, it’s the first thing you should check.

If you are using Chrome, typechrome://settings/cookiesin the URL bar at the top and pressEnter. Then, selectAllow all cookies.

For those using Edge, typeedge://settings/content/cookiesin the address bar and pressEnter. Then, enable the toggle forAllow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended).

Similarly, you can enable cookies in any other browser you may be using. Following that, X should not log you out.

Fix 2: Disconnect Third-Party Apps From Your X Account

If you have connected your X account to any third-party apps, those apps may be why X is logging you out automatically. You need to disconnect any suspicious third-party apps from your X account using the steps below to fix this.

Step 1:Open yourweb browser,sign into your X account, and click onMore.

Step 2:Click onSettings and Supportto expand it. SelectSettings and privacy.

Step 3:Click onSecurity and account accessand selectApps and sessionsfrom the right pane.

Step 4:Click onConnectedapps. This will open a list of apps linked to your X account.

Step 5:Select theappto revoke access and clickRevoke app permissions.

Repeat the above steps to revoke access to all the suspicious third-party apps. After that, X won’t log you out of your account.

Fix 3: Reset Your Password

Resetting your password can help resolve various issues related to your X account, including persistent logouts. Also, if your password is compromised, resetting it should help secure your X account.

Step 1:Visit theX password reset page> enter your phone number, email address, or X username > clickSearch.

Your password will be reset, and you will regain access to your X account. To add an extra layer of security and avoid such instances in the future, enable two-factor authentication for your X account.

Fix 4: Clear the X App Cache and Data

Unlike Android, iPhones don’t have a built-in way to clear individual app cache data. You must reinstall the app, which will also clear its cache data.

Fix 5: Update or Reinstall the App
