why is my contacts in another's phone

[henrikkhach]

Hi,

One time i logged in my google account by my wife's phone. Although i logged out of my account on that phone but my contacts have been added into my wife's phone contacts.

What should i do to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

When you say you logged out of your account, did you actually go to Settings>Accounts - Google​, select your Google account, and Remove Account?

Yes i removed my account.

I would go to your online account and see if you wife's phone is listed as a trusted device. If so, remove it there.

I'll try it and write you the result.

If your wife saves all of her important contacts to her own Google account (as opposed to the local Phone account), then you could go to Settings>Apps, tap Menu>Show System, select Contact Storage, and Clear Cache/Clear Data. Then open Contacts again, and let her Google Contacts resync. That should clear out any old contacts.

Hi,

Unfortunately i was far from net for some day.
I checked it. My wife's phone was not listed as trusted device in my account.

Thanks for reply and excuse me, i was far from the net for som days so i'm answering such late.
Unforyunately my wife has not saved her contacts to her google account.

But another strange thing is that anytime i add a new contact in my phone, i can find the same contact inside my wife's contacts!

Your email is tied to her phone somehow. Check all the google accounts and see and then log out of your email on her phone. This happens to me sometimes w/my wife's phone and son's tablet.

I think @tube517 is right. It doesn't have anything to do with your wife's phone being a trusted device. If you share a Google account, that would be the most likely reason why contacts are showing up on both of your phones. Look carefully at the account where those contacts are being saved -- is it a Google account that your wife also uses?
