On the phone

The functionality of the Gmail applications that we use on mobile devices does not allow you to log out of your Gmail account on your phone the way you can on a computer. This applies to both Android smartphones and iPhones. But you have two other options available to you. The first is to add a second Gmail (or other email service) address to the same application. After this, you can switch between them - making one profile active, and the second will automatically switch to standby mode.

How to add a second address	How to switch between addresses
Android	Open the application → profile icon (upper right corner) → Add account → select the type of mail service to which the email you are adding belongs. address → log in → enter the second mail → follow the system instructions.	Open the application → Menu → All mailboxes → touch between accounts.
iPhone	Open the application → profile icon (upper right corner) → Another account → select the type of mail service select the type of mail service to which the email you are adding belongs. address → sign in via iCloud, mac.com or me.com → follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Open the “Data and Personalization” section in the top menu and click on “Delete a service or account”;

We follow the instructions of the system.

Therefore, before leaving Google mail in this way, it makes sense to assign another account as the main account for these applications in advance.

How to disable automatic login

If a user uses several Google profiles to work with its services, you can disable automatic login and enter the required login and password yourself each time. To do this, open the Chrome search engine on your computer and click the menu with three vertical dots on the right. A drop-down menu will appear in which you need to click the “Settings” - “Advanced” button. Among the sections displayed on the screen, look for “Privacy and Security” and disable the “Allow Login” option.

Thus, logging out of your Google account is very easy. This can be done both on a Samsung or Xiaomi phone/tablet, and on a computer. Moreover, after logging out of the system, all data is saved and you can continue to use your account, but to do this you just need to log in to it again.

Why log out of your account?

There can be many reasons for leaving your account. The simplest of them is the need to log into another account. Often one user has several accounts at once: one for work, the other for leisure. It may also be that a friend or family member asked for temporary use of the phone, and he needs to gain access to his data.

The most dangerous situation of all is the theft of a smartphone. If an attacker gains access to your Google account, he could use it for criminal purposes. The account provides access to Gmail, a mailbox where personal correspondence or the key to important data for doing business can be stored. The slowness of the smartphone owner, who must urgently deactivate the profile in such a situation, can lead to monetary losses or blackmail from the attacker.
