Google account is integrated with all Android devices and you can sign in with as many accounts as you want. However, the default account decides how you log in to most of the apps, especially Google apps. We’ll show you how to change your default Google Account on Android.
It’s quite easy to add multiple Google accounts to your device, but the default account is the one that you used when you set up the device. So if you are also using more than one account on your phone, you’ll need to sign out and remove the previous account to change the default one.
