Question

I've given my phone away logged into my gmail

Jul 30, 2017 12:52PM PDT

So I've given my phone away to a family member and without having access to the phone, how do I log out of my Gmail? Because they are on my YouTube account and all their children's kid videos are going to my recommendations list and subscibed channels and recently watched. I don't want answers like, just tell them to log out, or just reset the phone. No, i want to log out of my gmail and youtube without having access to the phone. I'ts android LG K4

Login into google accounts on some other device and change your password. Then wait till they turn it off and can't login again.

Or see if https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6160491?hl=en (Find, lock, or erase a lost Android device) works. I don't think giving away or losing makes much difference for the procedure.
