What happens if I log out of my Google account?

As mentioned above, if you log in to your Google account, you can use various services provided by Google.

If you log out, these services will not be available. In addition, it is quite possible that the efficiency of Internet search will be reduced because bookmarks and browsing history during login will not be available.

Of course, the account itself remains, so if you log in again, you can use the spreadsheet files, bookmarks, and browsing history.

How to log out with Google Chrome

Now, let's see how to log out with Google Chrome. Basically, you can log out by following the same procedure when you are logged in to Google with another browser, so it is recommended to remember.

The method is very simple. First, let's access the top page of Google.

When you are logged in, you can see that the Google icon is displayed in the upper right corner of the top page.

Click this icon. Then you will see the name and email address of the account you are currently logged in to.

Click "Logout from all accounts (" Logout "if there is only one logged-in account)" displayed at the bottom of this screen to complete the logout.

When you actually log out, you can see that the design is not set in the Google account as shown below, but the default top page, and the icon part is "Login".

By the way, depending on the account, although you are logged out as above on the page, the icon may remain on the right side of the URL field of the window and it may be "paused".

In that case, first click the icon and then click the gear mark to the right of "Other Profiles".

Then a new window will be displayed. Click the icon with three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the user you want to log out, and select "Delete".

A confirmation screen will appear, but if there is no problem after logging out, just select "Delete" again.

This will close all Google Chrome windows.

For Android, not only Google Chrome but also the device itself is linked to the Google account. Therefore, strictly speaking, you cannot log out of your Google account. However, it is possible to log out if only some terminals are logged out.

For Google Chrome, first tap the icon with three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen, then tap "Settings" in the menu.

Then you can see that the icon, name, and email address of the logged-in account are displayed. Now tap the name of your account or "Sync".

If you tap an account, all accounts logged in to Android will be displayed. If you want to log out, tap "Log out and turn off sync" at the bottom.

This will bring up a dialog asking if you really want to log out. If you tap "Continue" as it is, bookmarks etc. will remain, so check "Delete Chrome data from this device" and then tap "Continue". By doing so, you will be able to log out of your Google account from Google Chrome.

After accessing the top page of Google, tap the icon in the upper right corner like a computer, and tap "Logout from all accounts (" Logout "if there is only one logged in account)" at the bottom. You can log out by doing so.

To log out of Google Chrome, first access the Google top page and tap the icon in the upper right corner.
