Hello everyone,

1. How does Google account work, if I have google account does it mean that every Google app in the phone is using the same Google account? e.g. Google Photos, Drive, Playstore...

2. If I do not have Google account can I use any gmail to login Playstore so I can download from Playstore? Can I use the gmail to login playstore, download app, then logout of playstore, without adding the gmail to become google account?

3. If I have Google account e.g john@gmail.com, can I use another different gmail e.g. johnnyrobinson@gmail.com to login Playstore?

4. If I do not have Google Photos app, I have Google account, does Google account backup contains all photos and videos? Does Google account and Google Photos backup exact same images and videos?

5. If I have a new phone, what is the difference of restore backup from Google account vs Samsung account vs restore backup by using Samsung smart switch transfer from old phone.

6. Is there something like Playstore that do not require any login?

Thanks.

If you add a Google account to your device, all Google apps will be able to find and use it to do their respective tasks.

Gmail is one of the services you get by having a Google account. You can always remove it from your device.

You can only login with valid credentials.

Google backup (Google One) relies on Google photos to backup pictures and videos, so only Google Photos would be backing that up.

You can only use Smart Switch to switch to a Samsung device.

Aurora store.

If Phone A does not have an app can I use Phone B to download the app and then transfer the app to Phone A via smart switch?

Not really. You could likely find it on apkmirror.

It is usually preinstalled, unless you deliberately disable it it should be visible. Only exception is Chinese versions of phones that aren't allowed to have Google Services.
 
How to log out in chrome. I want to use the chrome browser without any google login. I press the top right (circle in example) and the menu does not have any way to logout.

Is it for all Google related apps, once you install the app on the phone you can immediately use it without entering password? Example, if I install Google Translate app or Google Drive app, once I go into the app it seems like it will auto login or maybe just login by pressing the google account email that the phone is using, no need to enter any password.

Yeah, if there's a Google account registered on the phone.
