Depending on what device you use Gmail on, you can either sign out of Gmail, remove your Google Account, or switch between different accounts.
Sign-out options
The only way to sign out of the Gmail app is to remove your entire account from your phone or tablet.
However, you can do many of the same tasks through other actions.
When you remove an account, it removes the account from all apps on the device. When your account is removed, you won’t be signed in to any Google products, such as Maps or YouTube.
This option is good if you want to remove personal information from your device before you give it to someone else.
