Signing Out of Your Google Account: A Detailed Guide . Here’s a comprehensive guide on signing out of your Google account across different platforms:
On a Web Browser:
- Open any web browser and navigate to https://www.google.com/

- Click on your profile picture to open a dropdown menu.
- Select “Sign out” from the menu.
Alternatively:
- Open any Google service like Gmail, Drive, or YouTube.
- Follow steps 2 and 3 mentioned above.
Note: If you have multiple Google accounts signed in to the browser, some browsers might not allow you to sign out of just one. In such cases, you’ll see an option like “Sign out of all accounts.” Choose that option to sign out of all your Google accounts associated with that browser.
