Sep. 11, 2024

There may be times when you’d want to log out of Gmail on a device. Perhaps the device belongs to someone else, or you share your laptop with someone else. Either way, the process of logging out of a Gmail account varies from device to device, but it’s usually extremely easy. In this guide, let’s look at all the possible ways to log out of a Gmail account on a Desktop, Android, iPhone, or even remotely.

Logging out of your current active Gmail session on a browser isn’t very complicated. Here’s how to do it.

Logging out ofGmailon Android is tricky because your Google account acts as the heart of your device, and logging out would mean services other than Gmail would also log out. This is why profiles exist on Android. However, if add your Google account to, say, your friend’s phone to access emails and now want to delete it, you can do it both via the phone and remotely.

That said, if you still want to access other services, you can just uncheck “Gmail” to stop email sync. No new emails will appear once you do this.

Log Out of Gmail on Another Device

You can remotely log out of Gmail on another Android using your Android phone. Here’s how.
