How to Disconnect Apps Linked to Your Social Login Account

Follow these steps in order to review and disconnect linked apps.

  1. Open your account settings

    Go to your account or profile menu and look for a security or privacy section.

  2. Go to security & privacy

    Inside the settings menu, find the section covering login and privacy options.

  3. Find 'connected apps' or 'linked services'

    Look for a menu that lists every third-party app or website you've signed into using this account.

  4. Select and disconnect unused services

    Pick any app or site you no longer use and choose to remove or revoke its access.

  5. Why it matters

    Leaving old, unused apps connected to your account means they can keep holding onto your basic profile data indefinitely β€” disconnecting them limits how widely your information is shared.

Clean up connections to apps you've stopped using

It's common to sign up for an app once with a social login and then forget about it entirely. Revoking access for anything you don't recognize or no longer use reduces unnecessary exposure of your account data.

This doesn't delete your account with that service

Disconnecting only removes the login link between your social account and the other service β€” any account or data you created there usually still exists on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I disconnect an app, does it delete my account with that service too?

No. It only removes the login link β€” any account or data you created within that service usually still exists, so you may need to delete it separately through that service.

Can I reconnect after disconnecting?

Yes. Signing in with the same social login again will prompt a new permission request, and once you approve it, the connection is restored.
