How do I Unmerge Google Accounts?

Published in Google Account Management 2 mins read

Unlinking or "unmerging" Google accounts is achievable by removing the linked account through your Gmail app settings on your Android device. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Unlink Google Accounts:

  1. Open the Gmail app: Locate and open the Gmail application on your Android phone or tablet.
  2. Access Settings: Scroll to the bottom of the app's menu (you may need to tap the menu icon, typically three horizontal lines, in the top left corner) and tap "Settings."
  3. Select the Account: Tap on the specific Gmail account that you want to unlink from your other account.
  4. Unlink the Account: In the "Linked Account" section (or a similarly worded section regarding linked accounts), tap the "Unlink account" option. This will remove the link between the two accounts.

Important Considerations:

  • This process only removes the link between the accounts. It doesn't delete either Google account.
  • After unlinking, each account will function independently.
  • Ensure you are logged into the correct account before starting the process.

By following these steps, you can successfully unlink your Google accounts and manage them separately.
