Step 1: Open the Gmail App

The first step in deleting your Gmail account on mobile is to open the Gmail app on your smartphone or tablet. If you don’t have the app installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or the Apple App Store (for iOS devices).

Once the Gmail app is open, tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner of the screen to access the menu. From the menu, select “Settings” to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Select Your Account

In the Settings menu, you’ll see a list of accounts linked to your device. Tap on the Gmail account you wish to delete. This will open a new screen with account-specific settings.

Step 4: Go to Account Management

On the account-specific settings screen, scroll down and tap on “Manage your Google Account.” This will open a new web browser window within the app, allowing you to access your Google Account settings.

Step 5: Delete Your Account

In the Google Account settings, navigate to the “Data & privacy” section. Here, tap on “Delete a service or device.” Scroll down and tap on “Gmail” to delete your Gmail account.

Step 6: Confirm Account Deletion

You will be prompted to enter your Google password to confirm the deletion of your Gmail account. Once you enter your password, tap on “Delete account” to proceed.

After confirming the deletion, you will be asked to provide a reason for deleting your account. Choose the appropriate reason from the list and tap “Next.”

Step 8: Delete Associated Services

You will be presented with a list of services associated with your Gmail account. If you wish to delete these services as well, tap on “Delete” next to each service. If you want to keep any of these services, simply tap “Not now.”
