Method 2: Change the Default Google Account on Mobile
On Android
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your Android device and navigate to the Google section.
Step 2: Tap on your account name. From the pop-up, choose the account you want to make default.
You will see a distinct separator (line) between the default account and other connected accounts.
If you have only one account, add another by choosing the Add another account option. However, if you have multiple accounts and want to remove some, continue with the below steps.
Step 1: Select Manage accounts on this device. On the next screen, choose Google.
Step 2: Tap on the account you want to remove. Tap on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner.
Step 3: From the menu, choose Remove account. In the Remove account pop-up, choose Remove account once again.
On iPhone/iPad
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap on Mail. Now, choose Accounts.
Step 2: On the next screen, select the Gmail account to remove it. Don’t worry, we’ll be removing it and adding it back. Tap on Delete Account.
Note: By default, the first Gmail account (the default account) you add will be listed simply as Gmail. Any additional Gmail accounts will be listed using the full email address.
If you want to connect a new Google account without signing out of the existing ones, skip past the above steps and follow the below steps.
Under Accounts, tap Add Account. Then, select Google. Once you select, enter your account credentials and add the account to your iPhone.
