For convenience, you have signed in to your Google account on multiple devices, such as phones, laptops, PCs, and tablets. If you no longer use one of these devices, you should sign out to ensure the safety of your data. Let’s explore with FPT Shop the ways to sign out of your Google account on phones and laptops.
Why Do You Need to Sign Out of Your Google Account?
Google is an intelligent platform that is constantly upgraded and synchronized across systems, including Chrome, Gmail, and Google Drive. This is done to provide convenience to users for their purposes.
A person may use not just one phone or one computer but a combination of many devices for work, study, and entertainment. Signing into a Google account across multiple devices helps synchronize information, which is very useful.
However, in some cases, when you no longer use a device (for example, when you change your phone or laptop), you should sign out of your Google account to ensure that all your account information remains secure.

Why Do You Need to Sign Out of Your Google Account on Another Device?
As mentioned earlier, people usually sign into their Google accounts on multiple devices at the same time for convenience. Instead of having to sign in every time they use it, people tend to save their accounts on the device so that they can just open it without having to sign in again. However, this also brings risks, such as:
- When you sign into your Google account on another device, you are giving the system access to your Google data, including Google Drive, Google Photos, and Google Play. Personal information can be easily stolen or deleted if someone else uses that device.
- If someone accesses your Google account and changes the password, you will no longer be able to access your Google account, and in this case, you will lose your account.
- In addition, not signing out of your Google account on another device also creates opportunities for ill-intentioned people to use your personal information for inappropriate purposes, and you will be the one suffering the consequences.
In summary, signing out of your Google account from other devices is necessary and essential to protect your personal information and data, so don’t forget to do it.
