How to Sign Out of Google Account on Desktop or Mobile. (2024)

If you are looking for how to sign out of your Google Account on any of your devices, then this article is for you.

If your computer is permanently in a secure location, such as your home or office, and you only use it, it's perfectly acceptable to stay signed in to your Google Account at all times. The same principle applies if you own a smartphone that is used only by you.

However, if you share your computer or tend to leave your phone or tablet in places where others can access it, make it a habit to sign out of your Google Account regularly. This is important because when you stay signed in, you risk giving access to personal information like your email, your Google Docs, your Google Photos, your Google Calendar, etc..

Of course, this is not so convenient, because when you need to sign in to your Google account again, you will have to select it again or retype your password, but this only takes 10 seconds, which is worth it for your security.

In this article, we will go through the steps on how to logout of your Google account on different devices (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS).
