What is an FA's responsibility during deplaning?

During deplaning, safety and cabin readiness are the focus. A flight attendant watches passengers as they exit to keep the flow calm and clear, help anyone who might need it, and prevent crowding in the aisles. After everyone has left, a quick cabin check is done to make sure no one is left behind, no items are left in seats or aisles, and there are no hazards in the cabin. This combination of active supervision during exit and a post-deplaning inspection best ensures the aircraft is safe and secure before the crew moves on. Counting passengers is typically done before departure to verify the manifest, not during deplaning. Assisting with bags happens as a courtesy but isn’t the defining duty of deplaning, and locking the doors isn’t appropriate during deplaning since doors need to be open for exit and secured only after the cabin is clear.
