Is your old phone gathering dust in a drawer? Did you sell your tablet but forget to wipe it? It's crucial to remove those inactive devices from your Google account to protect your privacy and data! Here's how:
Removing a device prevents unauthorized access to your Google services like Gmail, Drive, and Photos. Think of it as closing a back door to your digital life.
**Easy Steps to Remove a Device:**
1. Go to your Google Account (myaccount.google.com).
2. Navigate to the 'Security' section.
3. Look for 'Your devices' and click 'Manage all devices'.
4. Click on the device you want to remove.
5. Select 'Sign out'.
That's it! Google will sign out the device, preventing access to your account. Regularly reviewing your connected devices is a simple way to maintain control and security over your digital footprint. Stay safe online!
