Enhance Your Device Usage: Link Your Google Account With Third-party Apps

Google provides the option to connect your Google Account with external applications and services. With this feature, Google can access some specific features of your third-party account, where the third party is a party which is not linked with Google in any way. It means that you can connect your podcast app, which is not from Google, to your Google account. But what are the benefits of linking these two separate accounts? Well, there are many that you can learn through the provided guide. Moreover, the following blog also helps you know about the linking process. 

Key Benefits of Linking Your Third-Party App With Google

Linking your Google account with the third-party app or services will help you to enjoy some exclusive personalised experience, including:

  • You can use your Google Assistant to purchase and order from your third-party apps.
  • Google can use the app streaming on your device to control the app's playing and stopping.
  • You can also connect your home devices, such as lights or thermostats, with the Google Assistant or Google Home applications and control them with a click on your phone. 

Process to Link Your Google Account Through Google Products

Google provides easy steps to link your third-party application or service to Google. However, you are not required to be concerned about the privacy and data you have shared with Google, as it does not charge or reveal any of your Google Account data to any third party you link with.

Some third-party applications may allow you to link their account with Google directly through their app when you are prompted to link your third-party app to Google. Under those conditions, you have to follow the steps as provided:

  • Open your third-party app or services.
  • Click on the Google account you want to link with your third-party app.
