Google accounts

[ansa82]

At the risk of sounding stupid. I've realized I have 2 Google accounts on my phone. Not sure how exactly that happened but it must have over the past 2 years. Since I'm going to switching to note 20 ultra in next couple of days does anyone know what the best solution would be? I've got passwords saved under both accounts unfortunately. Should I just bite the bullet and cancel one? Oh and can I cancel one? I've no idea lol. Thanks in advance!

You could sign in to one account to start Google Play to get your phone up and running, get updates and download your apps to your device. As far as the second account. Just open the icon or circle on the top right corner of www.google.com page or Google app. Click to sign in or sign out of the current account - then use your second set of credentials to get in the other account. I don't think both accounts can be open at the same time. I may be wrong. Good luck...

On your computer, log into the second account and check your various services like Google Contacts, Calendar, Photos, etc. to see if there is any important data there. If there is, then don't delete that account. Also, log into the Play Store with that account and see if you purchased/installed a lot of apps with it -- if you did, then you'd need to use that account on your device to access those purchased apps.

As far as I know, there's no way to merge Google accounts. You can transfer data from one account to another, though, based on the product: https://support.google.com/accounts...ly possible,to create another Google Account.

I did the same thing YEARS ago. I even bought some apps with one account and some with the other. I kept both logged in but shut off all the notifications of one. I noticed the other account, which I have never logged into for 3 phones now, is still there. I've not even looked at the email from it in years and don't intend to now! LOL
