Here’s how to remove the Gmail account associated with your Mail app on iOS:
1.

2.
Locate the Mail Settings
Scroll down and tap on Mail.
(💡 On some older iOS versions, this may be under “Passwords & Accounts.”)
3.
Tap on “Accounts”
Within Mail settings, tap Accounts to view a list of all email accounts currently linked to your device.
4.
Select the Gmail Account
Find the Gmail account you want to remove and tap on it. You’ll see what services it’s currently syncing—like Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
5.

Then confirm by selecting Delete from My iPhone.
🛑 Note: This only removes the Gmail account from your iPhone. Your Gmail address and inbox are still active and can be accessed anytime at gmail.com.
