How to sign out from the Google Play Store?

Signing out of the Google Play Store is a difficult process because Google has not provided any sign-out button as such in the application itself. So, the thing that you have to do is completely remove an account if you want to sign-out which I know is an inconvenience but as long as Google deems it fit to not provide a sign-out button we cannot really do anything much about it.

• Therefore, what you have to do is visit settings from your phone menu and search through the list to click on an option called accounts.

• There you will find the list of apps that use your Google id or some other identification and you will find the Play Store among them.
• You can click on that and then you have to click on the three dots at the right-hand top corner of the screen where you will find an option called remove. You have to click on that and a message will come up which will warn you that what you are about to do is remove a Google account which will result in the Google Play Store being restored to factory settings.

• Click on Ok and the process should be completed.
• Next time you open the Google Play Store you will find that you will have to provide a Gmail address again or you have to create a new account.

So, that is how you can sign out of the Google Play Store account. Remember that every app that requires a sign in also works well on signing out. If it is left open for future use without having to sign in malicious applications on the phone might get into the account and cause a havoc by stealing sensitive information like Internet banking passwords or card numbers.
