Steps
Open the Settings app and tap Google.
Tap Manage your Google Account.
Tap the Security tab.
Scroll down to "Your connections to third-party apps and services" and tap it.
This shows every app and service that has been granted access to your Google account.
Tap any app you want to review to see exactly what access it has.
Tap Delete all connections or select specific permissions to remove access from apps you no longer use or recognise.
How to confirm it worked
- Removed apps no longer appear in your connected apps list.
- The apps will lose access to your Google data immediately.
Troubleshooting
- I do not recognise an app in the list.
- If you cannot identify an app and did not intentionally connect it, revoke its access. You can always reconnect it later if needed.
