    1

    Review apps connected to your Google account

    ~40s
    On any device, go to myaccount.google.com → Security → scroll down to "Third-party apps with account access." You will see every app that has been granted access to your Google account using "Sign in with Google." Tap any app in the list to see what access it has. If you see an app you no longer use or do not recognize, tap "Remove Access." This logs that app out and prevents it from accessing your Google data.

    Quick Tip

    The level of access varies — some apps can only see your name and email. Others can read your Gmail, Google Drive, or Google Calendar. The permissions are listed when you tap an app. More access = more reason to remove if you no longer use the app.

    Review apps using Sign in with Apple

    ~25s
    On your iPhone, go to Settings → your name → Password & SecurityApps Using Apple ID. You will see every app that uses Sign in with Apple. Tap any app to see what information Apple has shared and whether it used a private email relay (Apple can hide your real email from apps using a masked forwarding address). Tap "Stop Using Apple ID" to revoke access for apps you no longer use.

    Review Facebook and Google login on other accounts

    ~23s
    Some apps also offer "Sign in with Facebook." To review those: open Facebook → tap the three horizontal lines → SettingsSecurity and Login → scroll to "Where you're logged in" and also "Apps and Websites." You will see every app that connected with Facebook. Click any app → "Remove." Revoking access does not delete your account within that app. It just disconnects the login method.

    What to do after removing access

    ~32s
    After removing an app's access, the next time you try to use that app it will ask you to sign in again. If you no longer use the app, no action is needed — access is revoked. If you want to keep using the app but with a more limited connection, most apps let you create a regular username and password instead of the social login. For apps you deleted from your phone months ago but forgot about, removing their Google/Apple/Facebook access is purely a security and privacy cleanup. They can no longer send data back to those platforms.

    Many apps let you sign in with your Google or Apple account instead of creating a separate username and password. This is handy, but over time you may end up authorizing dozens of apps and services to access your account, including some you no longer use. Reviewing this list and removing apps you don't recognize or use anymore is a worthwhile security step. It takes about five minutes.
