How to remove apps that have access to your account
Go to your account's security or apps settings and revoke access for any app you don't use. It takes one click and the app loses all permission to see your data. Do this right now — if you've got apps in there that you don't remember, they need to go.
When you sign into an app with your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account, that app gets permission to see your data. You can remove this permission any time and the app can no longer see your email, files, or personal information. It's a good security habit to clean out old apps regularly — if you don't use it, it shouldn't have access.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Leaving old apps connected and forgetting they can still see your data — clean out connected apps at least once a year
- Thinking removing an app from your phone also removes its account access — it doesn't. You have to revoke access separately
- Only checking one of your accounts when you have multiple — check Google, Apple, and Microsoft if you use all three
