How to log out of your Google account on Android: step-by-step instructions for your phone

Why do you need to log out of your account?

As practice shows, people are divided into three types:

Those who save their profile on all devices.
Those who use several accounts for one device together.
Those who change their Google profile on every new device (or even on an old one when resetting to factory settings).

So, these three types rarely understand each other's concept. Some people think that constant change allows you to quickly get rid of Google Drive, telemetry and everything else. Let's say right away that creating new profiles for the sake of this is a very bad idea. Typically, the need to log out of your account occurs for the following logical reasons:

Selling the device. In this case, it is recommended to perform a hard reset, but, in fact, sometimes you can get by with deleting Google.
Fighting telemetry. Services, listening to the situation around the phone, select advertising according to the user’s preferences. Sometimes it’s annoying when, when Google hears about a trip, it immediately offers ads about taxis and train tickets. By logging out of your profile, Google will not be able to process this data (or at least synchronize it with other devices).
Disabling the ability to log in to services without entering a password. This is more likely to be needed if the phone is not used by the owner, but by someone else.

In general, there are many reasons for this, as well as ways to solve the problem.

Account purpose

Google uses the same account for all its services at once - Play Market, YouTube, Google Docs and others. When you turn on the phone/tablet for the first time, the user will be prompted to log in or create a new account. It is recommended to do this as soon as possible. To summarize, a Google account is needed for:

Fast data recovery in case of device change;
Easy access to all controlled services at once;
Installing applications and games from Google Play.
Using a phone without an account will be incomplete - you will not be able to download the necessary programs, and in case of technical problems, personal data, such as photos, will be lost.

Ways to log out of your profile

It would be stupid if Google didn't include a direct output option on the device, and... they didn't. The settings functionality is only enough to add a new user, switch to him, and then delete the previous one. Otherwise, you need to use third-party devices, such as a computer, to exit. However, first things first.

Account deleting

No account - no problem. And no, this is not a joke, the only way to exit without changing the profile and resetting to factory settings is to delete it. Please note that in this case you will lose access to files on Drive, and will also automatically be logged out of services where you used Google login. Algorithm of actions:

Open the Google app.

Click on your avatar in the upper right corner.

Click on the "Manage Accounts" button.
Go to the "Data and Privacy" tab.

If the previous steps were unsuccessful for some reason, then simply follow the link: https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page.

Select the "Delete account" command.
Enter your password to confirm.

Perhaps the service will ask you to indicate the code sent to the number. Depends on what settings are set. After these frauds, the account will be deleted, and the phone will automatically log out of it.

Change user

A less radical and more humane method that most users use. Initially, you must have another account, or you can create one during the adding stage. In any case, changing the user will look like this:

Open the Google app again and click on your avatar in the top right corner.
Click on the arrow next to it and select “Add another account” from the menu that opens.
Enter the new user's login and password, if available. Or click “Create an account.”
In the case of registration, enter your first name, last name, date of birth, login and password.

By the way, after registration you will not have to log in a second time. The account will appear in the list immediately. You can now freely switch between accounts or log out of your account. More on this in the next section.

Log out on all devices

So, for this operation you will need another device, preferably a computer. Perform the following steps in sequence:

Open your account settings. They are located at this link https://myaccount.google.com.

Go to the "Security" section.
Open the “Your Devices” subsection.
Click on the three dots next to the desired device and select “Exit”.

Please note that all Google services, from YouTube to Gmail, are automatically disabled on your phone.

How to log out of your Google account from another device

This can be useful if the phone was lost or you gave it away yourself but forgot to unlink the account. It is better to do this operation than to change your account password and remember it again.

1. Go to the address - https://google.com/devices. Find your device in the list, click on the ellipsis icon in the upper right part and click on “Exit”. Or open it first to see other details, for example, where the device is currently located.

2. A message will appear - “You have signed out of your account, but some applications may still have access.” Open the link - Configure application access.

3. Here you will see a list of these applications. Open those that were installed on your mobile and block access to them.

Interesting! You can also unbind your device by resetting your Android settings to factory settings. It is better to do this if you are going to give your device to someone for permanent use, for example, before selling it.

Tips and tricks

Above we described a detailed algorithm for logging out of your Google account on different devices. We recommend that you follow these instructions strictly as they cover each item in detail.

Remember that logging out of your account, much less deleting it, is a drastic measure. In case you are trying to use it to solve a problem with your account, then this is a bad idea. If your account breaks down, you can fix the situation through the settings, links to which are provided above.
