Which apps have access to your Google Account?

If you didn't give explicit permission to these apps when they asked to, then they probably have.

And if they do then your Google account may be compromised.

For that reason alone I strongly advise not to ever use any Google app outside of the Chrome browser. This means Google Maps, YouTube (which is what people would assume you meant), and anything else that might be used as a replacement for Google products.

The best idea is to not use Google at all, unless it's a desktop client like Google Documents. And if you can live without Gmail then do so (although the lack of 2-factor authentication, plus an easy phishing campaign, makes Gmail very weak).

How do I see everything linked to my Google Account?

The settings menu that opens will show you all the devices that have access to your Google account.

Your apps on the other hand, can only be viewed and managed by you, not through your Google Account. How do I control my Google Play Store purchases? You can edit a purchase from the My Purchases page. From the Purchases menu, select Edit Purchase.

If you want to change your device's billing information, scroll down to Change Billing Information and select the option to Update. If you don't want to display advertising on your screen, you can switch off the ads by going to Settings, Security & Screen, Apps & Games and unchecking the toggle in Display Ads. If you don't want to receive push notifications about new apps, games, offers, or upgrades, you can turn off the notifications by going to Settings, Notifications, Apps & Games and unchecking the toggle next to Notifications. How do I control the permissions of apps and games? Some apps may ask for permission to send you notifications or access information on your phone. For example, they might use your location to show you nearby restaurants or let you see the weather forecast while you are out running errands.

To see the permissions that an app or game has requested, tap your device's name on the home screen and tap Settings. The Settings menu that opens will show you all the apps and games that have access to your phone or tablet.

You can also see if any apps or games have asked for permissions from the past week by tapping My apps. How do I manage my downloads and updates? From the My Purchases page, you can manage your downloads and updates for the following: Android Auto. Music. TV Shows. Movies. News. Video Games. Downloads. The Apps page lets you view what apps you have downloaded and installed, and manage them.

How can I see which apps are connected to my Google Account?

If you'd like to view which applications are connected to your account on your Android device, you'll first need to download the Google Account Manager app. You can download this from the Google Play Store for free.

From the Google Account Manager app, tap Accounts on the left side of the screen. Here you can manage your Google accounts, including your Google Play Music, Gmail and YouTube accounts.

To open your settings on your device, click on the Settings icon on the top-left corner of the screen. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the Google Accounts option. The first time you go through the steps to connect your Google Account, you'll be prompted to choose a picture to represent you. For the rest of the time, you won't be asked to choose a picture.

Here you'll find more information on your Google accounts, and how to connect or disconnect any that you have access to.
