Can’t you log out of Gmail ? It is something simple and fast, especially useful if you open the account on a computer or mobile device that is not yours and thus you will protect your account from prying eyes, so we are going to show you the steps you must follow to do so.
You can do it from your mobile or from the Gmail website, but logging out of one site does not mean that it closes in the other, so you should do it on all those devices where you have your Gmail email open , although there is a trick to know where are the open sessions.
With the latter we mean that it is likely that you are logged into Gmail on several devices and probably do not remember in which, well, there is a trick to see on which devices there is or was an open session so that you can close it if you have access to it.
How to create an account in Gmail
Sign out of the Gmail website
If you have logged in through a browser in Gmail, here are the steps you must do to log out:
- Once inside Gmail, click on your profile photo, click on “close session of all accounts” or simply on “close session” . One option or another will appear depending on whether you have one or more open accounts.
And voila, your session will be closed, but keep two things in mind, this will make you close your main account and others in which you have logged in and also means closing only here, if you have Gmail open on your mobile and on your tablet, you will also have to log out there separately.
Sign out of the Gmail app
You can also close the Gmail session if you use the official application for iOS and Android , it is also a very fast process, although that possibility is not really allowed, but you will have to remove the Gmail account from the device to no longer have access to it .
That is, there is no logout button, so you have to do something else. All you have to do is open the app and if you have an iPhone or iPad, these would be the steps to follow:
- Click on your Gmail profile image on the right side and click on “manage the accounts of this device” .
- Now click on “remove from this device” and the account will be closed because you will have deleted it from the iPhone. For Android the procedure is the same.
How to see all open Gmail sessions
It is possible to know on which devices your Gmail account is open at the moment or I was not too long ago, so you can find out if someone has access to your account because you will be able to see if any device does not match some of the ones you have.
This section of Gmail allows you to know the IP of said device, the type of access (browser, web, SMTP, etc.), the time zone and even when it was the last time it was active. If it also has an asterisk, it means that this session is active at the moment.
You just have to enter Gmail from your browser on your PC and go down to the bottom of the page, click on “details” where you say “last account activity” and there you will see all the information that we mentioned above, so you can close sessions in all those places.
If you use your computer regularly, you probably will not close the Gmail session , but if you open the account of other computers that are not yours, it is good that you know the procedure to follow and thus you can be sure that no one but you can access your account .
