You can add, remove, or switch between Amazon accounts using the Amazon shopping app on your mobile device.
Note: Do not add your Amazon accounts to a device that is public, or shared with unknown people, because anyone with access to the device will also have access to your Amazon accounts. Any new Amazon accounts added to your mobile app inherit the app permissions, such as camera roll access, or preferences, such as language, automatically. Updating app settings on one Amazon account updates them for all.
To manage your Amazon account on a mobile device:
- In your Amazon shopping app, go to Menu.
- Go to Settings and select Switch Accounts.
When signing out on your device, you'll be signed out only on this device.
