How to see if anyone is using your Gmail

Think about all that your Google account can open the door to: Your emails, your contacts, your location history, your searches, your photos … That’s just scratching the surface.

Be proactive and check Google’s devices page before you notice warning signs.

• Go to google.com/devices. You’ll need to sign in if you aren’t already.

• You’ll see a list of devices you’re currently signed in or have been in the last 28 days.

You might see the same device multiple times, and that’s normal. Don’t worry if you see several instances of one operating system or your iPhone listed repeatedly. You can click each one to see which browser was used. That might be a tip-off someone else has logged in – you see Firefox, for example, but you always use Safari.

If you see a device or location that seems suspicious, click it, then choose “Don’t recognize something?” Google will sign this device out remotely. After that, change your password just in case someone has it.
