To unlock certain features, you can give third-party apps and services some access
to your Google Account. For example, a photo editor app may request access to your
Google Photos to apply filters.
Some Google products that third-party apps and services may request access
includes:
• Gmail
• Drive
• Calendar
• Photos
• Contacts
Important: Third-party apps are companies or developers that aren’t Google. Only
give access to your Google Account if you trust a third-party app.
1. When a third-party app or service prompts you to share access to your Google
Account, review the request carefully to find what information and permissions it
asks for.
2. If you decide to share access, you must sign in to your Google Account.
3. Authorize the third-party app or service to have some access to your Google
Account data.
Third-party apps can request different kinds of access to your Google Account. They
can request access to:
• Get your basic profile: Your basic profile information includes your name, email
address, and profile picture. To create a new account on the third-party app or
service, a third-party app may request this information. When you sign in with
Google on third-party apps and services that have this feature, you authorize
access to your basic profile. Learn how to sign in with Google.
• View and copy data from your Google Account: Third-party apps and services
can request for permission to find and copy data like your contacts, photos,
YouTube playlists, and more.
• If you revoke the third-party app’s access to your Google Account, they can’t
access your data anymore. You may need to request to delete the data they
already have.
• Manage data in your Google Account: Third-party apps or services may request
permission to edit, upload, create, or delete data in your Google Account.
• For example:
• A film editor app may edit your video and upload it to your YouTube channel.
• An event planner app may create or delete events on your Google Calendar.
