pokemon-go
since yesterday I can't login to my Pokemon Go Account using the Google Login. First I thought server issues again of course but I can do the following:
So this issue seems to be related to my phone. I tried to restart and reinstall the app several times but am hitting a wall right now. Anything else I can do to do to purge the app from my phone so I can make a clean reinstall?
Android phones do that when they only have 1 google account in them. If you have multiple accounts on a phone, a screen will pop up asking which account to login with.
So to solve this problem, just add any other google account from here:-
As far as I know (I don't have a source other than personal observations), Pokemon GO doesn't access your Google account at all.
When you "log in with Google", the game checks whether a Google account is present on the phone and what the associated e-mail address is, then loads the Pokemon GO account identified by this e-mail address, without ever trying to access or otherwise use the Google account. It has a completely seperate account based on your Google account's e-mail address, which is the only thing it needs to load that account, operating under the assumption that the Google account would only be present on the phone if you had the password.
Therefore, Pokemon GO will never show up as a connected app in your Google settings. You can't revoke access because all it ever needs is the name of the Google account linked to the device and you really can't hide that from an app. (Also why would you?)
This also means that should Niantic ever shut down their servers, everything Pokemon GO related will be gone, there will be no way to get any records pulled out from your Google account. If someone subsequently created a fanmade clone of Pokemon GO, everyone would have to start over from scratch, it would be impossible to pull any account info from Google or Trainer Club because there's nothing there. This is notably different with games that actually connect to Google, those store settings and usually progress in the Google account and if they discontinue the service, someone can just take over.
Best Answer
I suggest you try deleting pokemon go's chache or app data before reinstalling, or even unlink your google account as well, and link it back in the dialog you get when you click sign in with google without having an account linked already.
If you don't know how to do those, post your phone model in a comment and I'll try to guide you into doing those.
