Log out leaves avatar online
complete
Thern Lorefield
Almost always after logging out - with the log out option, not by closing/force closing the app - almost invariably my avatar will still show online for up to 15 minutes. People can repeatedly message me during that 15 minutes without offline notification, so it's not like when sometimes a friend shows online when some miscommunication between the server and the other persons viewer they show as offline.

If you log in on mobile but don't log out, I believe it will still think you're logged in. Even if you exit out of your apps on your phone when SL mobile was one of them. You would think that would log you out - apparently it doesn't

On October 5, 2025 I can confirm that the avatar still stays logged on for about 15 minutes. It means also I can not login the same avatar on the desktop in the same region, but logging into another sim will work.

To give this issue another poke, I too observe my avatar as showing online to friends long after I logged out.
Furthermore when I try to log in with a desktop viewer, I can not log in to the place I was logged in with the mobile viewer, the login process fails at the capabilities phase. Logging in elsewhere succeeds, but then teleporting to the intended place usually will leave the viewer incapable of seeing neighbouring regions and might fail resolving textures all over the place.
In short, the mobile logout process is not completed in an orderly fashion, which can easily be observed as the avatar will still be reported as online to friends for a random time between may be 10 to 40 minutes.

What I observe is that for a time of about ten minutes after logging off from mobile a login via PC viewer will get stuck and eventually fail at "Connecting to region". Logging to a different region usually succeeds as a workaround.
So whatever the mobile client logout is, it seems to be somewhat incomplete these days.

Hi Thern! Logging out via Menu > [tap your name] > Sign out will log out you out immediately. If you have Notifications enabled (Menu > Settings > Notifications) you will receive push notifications when signed out. Is this what you are experiencing?

Bridie Linden "Logging out via Menu > [tap your name] > Sign out will log out you out immediately." that is what I meant by "the log out option". Well, Im, as per the description persistently (probably everytime I log in and out mobile) experiencing it not working as intended!
I timed it three times in a row:
First session: 25 minutes between pressing log out in the menu and alts/people seeing "Thern Lorefield is offline".
Second session: 22 minutes.
Third session: 5 minutes. (So fast!)
Messages sent to me during the wait didnt go to notifications. (They did however show up in chat history after logging in again. But not as messages received while offline.)
When I open the SL app - before or after seeing "Thern Lorefield is offline." I get the error "You have been logged out of Second Life - Unable to reconnect, your avatar has been logged out of Second Life." (Well duh, thats what I asked the app to do half an hour ago!).

Thern Lorefield: Thanks for your reply! Can you confirm that you're using the latest version on Android (2025.7.560)? Could you also try signing out, then filing a bug report via the gear in the top right corner of the login screen?

Bridie Linden Yes, still happens. Reported with a link to this thread.

I also have this problem - however I also believe that closing the app should log out the avatar (Or provide a separate "Go offline" option) too as the logout option is a bit painful for those of us with 2FA enabled
