How to Remove Gmail Account on iPhone and iPad

The process of removing a Gmail account is kind of opposite to adding a Gmail account on iOS devices. There are different ways to remove a Gmail account from iPhone and iPad. You can remove it through Settings or the Gmail app. If you have signed in to your Gmail account in Safari, you have to remove the mail account from there as well. Otherwise, it will keep signing in to the same mail account every time you use it. In this article, you’ll learn how to accomplish this task in all possible manners.

Before heading to walkthroughs, you should know that removing a Gmail account from all these methods won’t prevent you from accessing Google apps such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Drive, and other Google apps. However, you won’t be able to access synced Contacts, Calendar apps, and Notes. For that, you need an associated Gmail account. Furthermore, the steps to remove a Gmail account are the same for both iPhone and iPad.
