iQinews.com – Android phone users usually have at least one Gmail account. This is because when using an Android phone, users need to synchronize their device with their Gmail account.
However, due to several reasons, such as maybe wanting to change phones or due to security issues, someone needs to log out their Gmail account from their Android phone.
So, how do you log out of Gmail from an Android phone?
Here’s how to log out of a Gmail account from an Android phone, as quoted from the official page:
- Open your Android phone or tablet, then open the Gmail app
- At the top right, tap the profile photo
- Tap “Manage accounts on this device”
- Choose your account
- At the bottom click “Delete Account”
When deleting a Gmail account on a cellphone in this way, the account will be removed from all mobile device applications.
Thus your phone is not signed in to any Google product like Maps or Youtube.
However, on some phones there is an option to select only certain applications whose Gmail account you want to log out of.
For information, deleting an account from this phone will not delete the account itself. You can still use the account on another computer or device.
