Sign Out from the App Interface
Open Netflix and Locate Your Profile
Start by opening the Netflix app on your iPad and wait for the home screen to load. Look for your profile picture or initials in the top-right corner of the display.
Tap the Profile Icon to Reveal Options
Press that icon to slide out a small menu listing your current profile, manage profiles, and account settings. Position your finger over the text rather than the picture if the tap area feels too small.
Select Sign Out to End the Session
Scroll to the bottom of that menu and tap Sign out. The app will close your active session on the iPad and return you to the sign-in screen.
Sign Out via the Netflix Website
Open a Browser on Your iPad
Launch Safari or another browser and go to netflix.com while ensuring you are signed in to the correct account.
Access Account Settings
Click your profile picture in the top-right, then choose Account from the dropdown list.

Under Settings & Policies, select Sign out of Netflix. This clears all devices logged into the account, including your iPad.

Review Devices on Your Account
On netflix.com, open the Security section to see a list of devices that are currently streaming.

FAQ
Why does Netflix on my iPad say I need to sign in again after I just logged out?
Clearing app data, using a different Apple ID, or having an expired session can trigger a forced re-login for security.
Will signing out on my iPad sign me out on other devices too?
Not automatically; signing out only affects that iPad unless you choose Sign out of all devices on the website.
Can I sign out of Netflix on my iPad without using the app menu?
No, the only reliable way to sign out is through the in-app profile menu or the Netflix website on your iPad.
What should I do if Sign out is greyed out on my iPad?
Update the Netflix app, restart the device, or sign out via netflix.com to resolve restrictions on the Sign out button.
