- Tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen. This will show a list of all of your devices that are connected to your Google account.
- Scroll down and tap on the device that you want to clear out from the list. This will take you to a screen where you can select which settings you want to change for that device.
Select your profile image in the upper-right corner of the app and select Assistant settings > Devices. Tap the device you’d like to disconnect from your Google account. To delete an unlink a device, tap Unlink this device on iOS or Remove device on Android.
