Google sign-in loops on Android can be frustrating—especially when you’re locked out of your account. The good news? You don’t need to reset everything or reinstall apps to fix it.

Let’s break it down simply.

1. Clear Google Play Services and Chrome cache

Start with the basics: clear cache for both Google Play Services and Chrome. These apps handle cookies and session data, so resetting them often resolves sign-in loops without affecting your account.

2. Check for app updates

An outdated Google app or Play Services might trigger cookie errors. Go to the Play Store, tap your profile icon, and check for updates under “Manage apps & device.”

3. Reset network settings (safely)

If the loop persists, reset network settings *without* losing Wi-Fi passwords. Go to Settings → System → Reset options → Reset network settings. This won’t delete your data but will refresh connections.
