Nowadays Android is in every hand and its users are still increasing day to day. So, for Android users, accessing to Google Play Store is a common thing for installing new and interesting apps on their devices.

So, to access the Google Play Store, you must be signed in to your Google account, and then only you can install Android apps. But, recently I faced a problem with my new Android tablet that I was unable to find the place to sign out from the Google Play Store on my Android device.

But after searching for a solution on the web, I found that it is not only my problem rather it’s a public issue. On using an Android phone for some days I found two solid methods to log out of Google Play Store on your Android phone or tablet and I decided to explore these methods publicly via my site.

Step-by-Step Guide to Sign Out From Google Play Store in Android

Now, I move on to the main topic which is How to sign out from Google Play Store on Android Phones/Tablets. So, guys, I’ve compiled 3 great methods through which you’ll be able to log out of Google Play on your Android device. So, have a look at these awesome methods:

Method #1: Sign Out Using a Web Browser

This is one of the best and most effective working methods to sign out of all your logged-in Google accounts from all devices remotely. All you need to log in to your Google account in a web browser and follow the steps below.

  • Once, you’re logged in to your Google account in the browser, just go to https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity. If you’re not logged in already, just log in with the same Google account you’re using on your Android device.
  • A page of your device’s activity will then open where you’ll find in which of your devices your Google account remained signed in.
  • Now, look for the device in which you want to sign out of the Google Play Store. Click the three vertical dots icon, click Sign Out, and then confirm.

It’s that simple. It will not only sign out of the Google Play Store on that Android device but the overall Google account for all the Google apps like Gmail etc.

Method #2: Sign Out Using Your Android Settings

Generally, there is no place found in the Google Play Store to sign out while using Android. So, by using this method you can simply sign out from Google Play Store on your Android device. You can simply do it by removing your existing account from Google Play. Read the following steps to know how:

  • Open Settings on your Android Device and Navigate to Accounts & Sync. Now, tap on the account you want to remove.

  • When you tap on your Google account, you’ll see the details of Synchronization. Here, you just need to click on the Remove account option to sign out of the Google Play store.

That’s all! After removing your account from here, you will be unable to log in to your Google account. Further, if you want to log in to your account for any reason like to install any app, then you can again add the same account and then you can simply sign in.

Method #3: Using Android App

Some Android apps are also available to help you log out of your Google account from the Google Play Store on your Android device. So, I’ve also such an app installed on my device. The app is named Log Out! Follow the given steps for the installation guide and how to use it –

  • Just visit Log Out! App and Click on Install.
Log Out! App
  • After installation, open this app and click on Log Out all accounts. This task should tend to sign out of all your accounts on your Android device.

Note: This app is no longer available on the Google Play Store.

That’s all guys! Use any of these methods to log out of your running accounts on an Android device. I tested three of them and hope that they will also work for you. Good Luck!

  2. I followed the instructions in method 1, and while I was prompted to sign in again by Google Play and Gmail, the programs still showed everything that had been previously downloaded. I could still open emails, for example. And I could even save files to my Google Drive, so it doesn’t seem to have longed me out of everything.

  3. Thank you SO MUCH!!! I was going crazy trying to log out to hand the phone on to a friend, without doing a factory reset. From the Google sign in page it’s easy, but i had forgotten it existed. Trying to wipe out the data from the different google apps locally one at a time was not only frustrating but nearly impossible. It made me more aware than ever that the digital virtual tail we all wear isn’t so easily shaken off o_O And it shows that sometimes, you just need to ask (Google) for help and some kind soul out there will have posted the answer 🙂

  7. didn’t work for me, can’t find the “remove account” button. The app didn’t work too as well. Is there a way to delete the other account because there were 2 of them? I think the account remains when I use the log out app but didn’t delete the account.
