Google accounts stay logged on using Plickers on iPad

[tadcooke]

Hi all, we've got shared iPads we manage via Mosyle, one of the apps teachers like is Plickers, which users use their school Google accounts to log into. When they finish their session they logout on the app. The issue is when the next user picks up the iPad and open the app/click log on using Google they can just choose the previous user and it logs straight into that account, no password required or anything.

 

I checked Chrome on the iPads and that's not getting signed in to their Google account when they log into Plickers, but Safari is. I can sign out their Google account in Safari and it will stay logged out, until I go back into Plickers and can do the same as above, logging into the previous users account without having to enter a password. Safari will then also be logged into their account.

 

The only way round this I have found is to go to Safari settings and clear out web history etc. I've seen someone else having this problem with Google Classroom doing the same thing but they only had the clear data solution as well... Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions how to force the Google account to log out?

As part of the lesson could the teacher (as part of his/her duties) advise the students to double-tap the home button and swipe safari closed before the end of the tutorial or lesson. Should achieve the result you want? Edited May 1, 2022 by AntonioRocco

No it doesn't seem to do it - we can sign out of Google from within Safari but then if you go back into Plickers and sign in with Google it automatically signs back into the same account, which seems to sing in on Safari in the background. The only way to sign out is to 'Clear History and Website Data' from Safari settings, which is a pain...

It may be an issue with Plickers as what I suggested does not happen in my experience. However I don't use Plickers. Try the app's developers. Perhaps they can help?
