For instance, your Google account might be now associated with YouTube, Photos, Duo and Podcasts. It might also be the account associated with Google One, the online storage platform from the search giant. Your Google account might also be associated with Google Pay, the peer-to-peer payment service from the Silicon Valley giant.

With such an important account, one can also expect an overload of information coming your way across services. If you have multiple Google accounts, then it could be daunting to manage all of those accounts and the information associated with them. In such a situation, scaling back makes sense. If you're wondering how to remove Gmail account from your phone, here are the steps to do so on Android and iOS.

How to remove Google account from Android

Before we get started, it is important to note that removing your Google account from a device is not the same as deleting your account. In this case, you are basically disassociating that particular device. This would result in that particular device no longer being able to send notifications associated with the Google account. Here is how to remove Google account from any Android smartphone.

Go to Settings on your phone either from the notification tray or from the menu of your phone.
Now, click on the Accounts option. This might also be called "Users and Accounts" on some Android phones.
If your smartphone classifies accounts on the basis of apps then click on Google.
In the next step, click on the Google account that you want to remove.
You will see two options: sync and remove. Tap on Remove to proceed.

If your Android smartphone has only one Google account then you will be required to enter the device password to remove the account. Removing your only Google account from your phone would lock you out of Play Store and other Google apps.
