Method 2 - Using an Android app


If you are not comfortable with handling settings for any reason, you can use an app that does the job on your behalf. There are many apps available for Android for the purpose. Log Out is one such popular app.

  • You will be logged out of all your accounts on your device.


Please note that this app will log out of all your accounts including the ones like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. However, there are possibilities that it may not remove all accounts in some cases. You may not be able to retrieve any of your passwords. Do take care to note down all your passwords before proceeding.

In Conclusion


Google does not allow you to sign out of your Google Play Store alone. That is just because the Google Account syncs your data across all apps and that would ensure smoother functioning of your Android device. Instead, you can remove the Google account associated with your smartphone which in turn will sign you out of your Google Play Store as well.
