Open session on more devices
If you are a regular on Messenger and wherever you go you always log in to see what’s new with your friends, we recommend checking that the change has been made correctly on all the devices where you are logged in.
Also, due to security measures, this is not recommended, especially if you share sensitive data between your conversations that could affect you or your contact list. Remember that there are many malicious people who take advantage of these carelessness to perform bad acts.
Improper closing of the application
As happens in most operating systems, it is necessary to close the session correctly for the changes made to take effect, it is a kind of, if you will, reset in which the system reorganizes the latest changes so that when you start again everything works according to your modifications.
Therefore its importance, if we do not close the session correctly, the system may not understand that it must make changes and the inconvenience that we have been dealing with persists.
How to log out of other active devices?
To access all the devices in which you have your session active, it is recommended to close the entry of the devices that we do not want to have enabled. Messenger tells us on its official page that this function is not available, however, we can help you with a little trick.
This does not mean that we are going to alter the rules of Facebook or, perhaps, that you have to download an additional app, everything comes directly from the same platform. Therefore, it is only enough to close the session from the app so that in this way we can “cheat” the platform in some way and, as we mentioned in the previous paragraph, the settings are applied correctly.
You must enter the icon of the 3 lines that is located at the top of the Facebook app, then you are going to select Settings and Privacy from the menu, then Settings and a submenu is displayed in which you must click Security and Login that is located below in the Security section, it shows all the devices in which your account is open and you can start to close each one.
