What is a default Google account?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority

The default account is the first Google account you signed into on that browser. The default account determines what account you are automatically signed into when you visit a Google-owned service, such as YouTube or Google Drive. So if you’re constantly being signed into the wrong account, it’s time to switch default accounts.

How to change the default Google account (desktop)

Go to any Google-owned website, such as Gmail, and click on your profile photo in the top right-hand corner. This will show you all the Google accounts you are currently logged in to, including the default one.

At the bottom of that box is a Sign out of all accounts button. Click that to sign out of all your accounts. Now sign into the account you want to make the default. Once you’re signed in, it should show as default in your account list. You can then sign in to your other accounts if you wish.

Changing the default account on your phone is even more straightforward. All you have to do is go into your phone settings and remove all of the logged-in Google accounts, except for the one you want to make default. When the other accounts are removed, the one remaining is “promoted” to default.

How many Google accounts can I have?

When I switch default Google accounts, does it change my settings, bookmarks, and browsing history?

All settings, such as your bookmarks and browsing history, are unique to that Google account. So if you change default Google accounts, your settings will be stored in the former default account, and you will have new settings in the new default account.
