Apple Mail App Method
If your Gmail account is synced with the Apple Mail app, here’s how to remove it:
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on Mail (it’s in the list of apps).
- Select Accounts inside the Mail settings.
- Find the Gmail account you want to log out of and tap it.
- Hit Delete Account at the bottom.
Don’t worry—this doesn’t delete your Gmail account entirely. It just removes it from your phone.
Gmail App Method
If you’re using the Gmail app instead, here’s what to do:
- Open the Gmail app on your iPhone.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Manage accounts on this device from the menu.
- You’ll see a list of accounts; tap Remove from this device under the one you want to log out of.
- Confirm your choice when prompted.
And that’s it! Your Gmail account is now logged out of the app.
Quick Tips
- If you’re switching devices or handing your phone to someone else, logging out ensures your emails stay private.
- Removing an account doesn’t delete emails; they’ll still be accessible when you log back in.
Logging out isn’t just about decluttering your apps—it’s about protecting your privacy. Whether you’re sharing your device or just taking a break from email, these steps make it easy to stay in control.
