This wikiHow article teaches you how to log out from Google Play on Android and your computer. On Android, the Google Play Store does not have the option to log out. The only way to log out completely is to remove your Google account in the Settings menu. This will sign you out of all other Google apps on your Android device. If you don't want to sign out of your Google account on all other apps, your only option is to sign in to the Google Play Store using a different Google account.
Can I log out of Google Play on Android?
No, the option to log out of the Google Play Store does not exist. The only way to log out is to delete your Google account from your phone's Settings, which signs you out of all Google apps and removes contacts you have added through Google.

1 Create a new Google account (if needed). If you want to sign out of the Google Play Store but stay signed in to all your other Google accounts, you will need to sign in with a different account.
If you don't have an alternate Google account, you can create one for free. To do so, go to https://www.google.com/gmail/about/# in a web browser and click Create an account. Fill out the form to create a new account.
2 Open Settings on your Android. To do so, swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the icon that resembles a gear in the upper-right corner. Alternatively, you can open the Apps menu and tap the icon that resembles a gear to open the Settings app.
3 Tap Accounts. It's in the main Settings menu on stock Android devices. Depending on your device, this may be under "Users and accounts," "Cloud & Accounts," "Accounts & Sync," "Accounts and backup," or something similar. This displays a list of all accounts on your device.
If you are having a hard time finding this menu in the Settings app, tap the magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner and type "Accounts" in the search bar.
4 Scroll down and tap + Add Account. It's at the bottom of all your listed accounts.
5 Tap Google. It's next to an icon that resembles red, green, yellow, and blue "G." Tap this to add a new Google account.
6 Enter your Google email address and password and tap Next. Use the email address and password to log in to whichever alternate Google account you want to use. Then tap Next at the bottom. This adds an alternate Google account to your Android device.[3]XResearch source
You may be required to enter your PIN, password, or use your fingerprint to add a new account to your Android device.
7 Open the Google Play Store . It has an icon that resembles a colorful 'Play' triangle. Tap the icon on your Home screen or Apps menu to open the Google Play Store.
8 Tap your profile icon. It's the circular icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. This displays the menu.
If you have not set a profile image for your Google account, your profile icon will resemble a colored circle with an initial in the middle.
9 Tap your Google account. It's listed at the top of the menu. It's next to your profile image and contains your name and email address. This displays all Google accounts you have added to your Android device.
10 Tap an alternate Google account. This signs you into the Google Play Store using the alternate accounts. This effectively signs you out of your old account while leaving you signed in to that account on other Google apps.
When you sign in to the Google Play Store with a new account for the first time, you are asked to agree to the Terms of Service. Tap Accept in the lower-right corner of the pop-up alert to do so.
