Did you know that Google gives you a lot of control over your account and lets you make changes remotely? People can see who’s on using their Google Account. The company lets you check on computers, phones and other devices where you are or where you signed in to your Google Account. You can check google.com/devices to make sure that no one else is signed in to your account. Here is a detailed guide on how you can add an extra layer of security to your Google Account and also check if any unknown person is using it.

How to check if your Google Account is being used by an unknown person or not, here are the steps.

step 1 – First go to Settings on your Android phone and scroll down to tap on the “Google” option.

Step 2 – Now tap on “Manage your Google Account”.

Step 3 – Swipe left on the screen until you reach the “Security” section. The names of the sections are visible on the top of the screen.

Step 4 – Scroll down to the “Your devices” section, and tap on it.

Step 5 – Tap on “Manage all devices” again. Now, you will be able to see which devices are logged in to your Google Account.

Step 6- If you find an unknown device that you haven’t logged into your Google Account with, just tap on that device in the list.

Step 7 – Tap the “Sign Out” button again.

What else can you do to add more security to your Google Account?

If you find your Google Account on another unknown device, the first thing you should do is change your account password after signing out in Settings.
