How do I see which devices are signed in to my Google Account?

Open Settings, tap Google, then Manage your Google Account, then Security & sign-in. Under Your devices, tap Manage all devices. You will see the phones, tablets, and computers signed in now or in the last few weeks. To remove one, tap it and then tap Sign out. You can also visit google.com/devices.

Steps to check

1. Open your Google Account

   On most Android phones, open the Settings app, tap Google, tap your name or account, and then tap Manage your Google Account. If you do not see Google in Settings, type "Google" in the search box at the top of Settings. On a computer or tablet, you can go straight to google.com/devices or myaccount.google.com in a web browser.

2. Go to Security & sign-in, then Manage all devices

   Along the top of your Google Account there are tabs. Tap Security & sign-in (swipe the tabs sideways if you do not see it). Scroll down to the Your devices panel and tap Manage all devices. The list shows devices where you are signed in now, or were signed in during the last few weeks. Devices you already signed out of are marked Signed out.

3. Look at each device calmly

   Tap a device to see more, such as its type, the last time it was active, and a rough location. Google explains a few things that can look odd but are usually fine. You may see the same device more than once, because each browser, app, or new sign-in can make its own entry, called a session. The time shown is the last time the device talked to Google, which can be more recent than you remember because apps sync in the background. The location can be a nearby town rather than your exact spot. A phone you factory reset can still show for a while.

4. Sign out of devices you no longer use

   Google suggests signing out of devices that are lost, that you no longer own, or that do not belong to you, like a library computer. Tap the device in the list, then tap Sign out. If several entries share the same device name, sign out of each of them so none are left. Signing out does not delete your account, your email, or your photos. That device simply loses access until someone signs in again with your password.

5. If you do not recognize a device, secure your account

   First, change your Google Account password: in Security & sign-in, under How you sign in to Google, tap Password. Google says that changing it signs you out everywhere except the devices you use to confirm it is you, some apps you gave access to, and some home devices. Then check the Recent security events panel and tap No, it wasn't me for anything you did not do. While you are there, check that your recovery phone number and recovery email are yours, and consider turning on 2-Step Verification, which asks for a code or a tap on your phone when someone signs in.

6. Lost a phone? Sign out, then use Find Hub

   Signing out stops a lost phone from using your account, but it does not find or wipe the phone. To find, lock, or erase a lost Android phone, open the Find Hub app on another Android device, or go to android.com/find in a web browser and sign in. Google notes that erasing the phone deletes its data and means you will no longer see it in Find Hub, so try to find it first.

7. Selling or giving away a phone you still have? Remove the account on that phone

   If the phone is in your hands, remove your Google Account from it directly before you pass it on. Open Settings, then the accounts menu (it may be called Passwords & accounts, Users & accounts, or Manage accounts), tap your Google Account, and tap Remove account. This removes your email, contacts, and settings from that phone only. Everything stays safe in your Google Account. Our factory reset guide covers what to back up first.

   • Samsung Settings → Accounts and backup → Manage accounts → your Google account → Remove account. You may be asked to confirm it is you.
   • Pixel Settings → Passwords, passkeys & accounts (the name can differ by Android version) → your account → Remove account.

Normal vs. not

Common questions

Will signing out a device delete my email or photos?

No. Your email, contacts, and photos are stored in your Google Account, not on that device. Signing out only stops that device from reaching them.

I see a device I don't recognize, but it might be mine. How can I tell?

Google says you might not recognize your own activity if you started using a new device, used a public or borrowed computer, recently reset a phone, or traveled. Tap the device to see its type and last activity. If you are still not sure, sign out of it. If it was yours, you can simply sign in again.

Does changing my password sign everyone out?

Mostly. Google says changing your password signs you out everywhere except devices you use to confirm it is you, some devices with apps you gave access to, and some home devices like smart speakers.
