Is it possible for another google acount to be on my phone if i havent let anybody use it?

[Evilbeard1984]

I recently found someone elses google account on my phone I have know idea who this person is but I have access to all their pics and whatnot. But I've never let anybody use my phone to check their stuff or let anybody sign in to their acount on my phone. Can I have someones account just show up or does it hafta be signed into on my phone?

I found another acount on my phone but I've never let anybody use it to check their stuff or sign in to their acount. So can someones acount just pop up on my phone or does someone have to actually sign in their account from my phone?

They would have needed physical access to your device in order to log in. Did you buy the phone new? Was it from a carrier or manufacturer directly? Did you see the phone come out of the box and turn on the first time?

I'm about 99% sure the device needs to be in hand in order to sign in to a new account on it.

Did you see the above question about if this is a new or used phone? This is certainly possible with used phones if the last person forgot to sign out.

Thank you that's what I thought. I got it brand new right outta the box. I'm the only one who had used it up until that point I found the other account I guess. That's upsetting. Thanks again I appreciate the piece of mind

Go to Settings>Accounts, then see which Google accounts are listed there. Is that how you found that another account was on the phone?
