  • How to stop alternative gmail ID contact synchronization


    Are your personal contact details being displayed when the gmail you have created for someone else with your ID as the alternate is opened? Are you seeking ways to discard the synchronization? Follow this thread to know the procedure.

    I am an Engineer by profession. About eight years back, I helped some relatives to create new a gmail ID and while doing so I had given my mail ID as the alternative/ emergency contact email ID. Now when they login with their gmail ID on their mobiles, all of my contact numbers and gmail contacts are being displayed.

    Kindly give me the step by step procedure to stop this gmail contact synchronization. That is, my gmail linked contact details shouldn't reflect in the other gmail ID.

  • You can follow the following steps and try
    1. Open the "Contacts" app
    2, Click on the menu option in the top right.
    3, Then click "Accounts".
    4. Then click on "Google". On some phones instead of giving Google, all the emails addresses synchronised will appear
    5. Then Choose the account you want to unsynchronise.
    6. Untick the checkbox next to "Contacts".
    Once you do this. Automatically synchronisation will stop.
    Restart the phone after this. Already saved contacts if any are there you have to delete such contacts once.

  • Here are the steps;
    Open the settings app
    Navigate to Accounts and tap on it
    The list of all accounts synced on the device will appear, select the account you want to unsync and tap on it. Tap on Sync Account, and it will show you a dropdown of all the google features synced on the account. Scroll downwards to Gmail and toggle it off.

  • You can go to your mail and then go to the settings and select general settings. In that screen your email account will be shown. If you have more number of accounts all will be displayed there.
    Now you will find a selector for sync on and off just above the email address.
    This is to be kept off and then the contacts will be stopped showing in other email.
    Another thing is that if some contacts are already there then that are to be deleted manually.

    Knowledge is power.
