Same Google Account on 2 Devices

Hello,

My Google account is connected on 2 devices: one at my place and the other at my boyfriend's, which is 4 km away, and both devices are synchronized. My boyfriend has his own Google account on his phone, so he has 2 accounts logged in. Do you think that having both accounts connected on his mobile could mess up the location? For example, could it create a 3 km driving route in the middle of the night (on my account while I haven't moved from home)? I would like to get your opinions please, he's having some questions.

Configuration: Android / Chrome 93.0.4577.62

Hello @Amelie22200,

You can access the same account from anywhere and on as many devices as you want!

Two accounts on the same device do not interfere with each other and are independent unless the addresses are two aliases of the same account.

Hello,
How is it that my boyfriend had my locations in addition to his on his phone when he had both accounts connected? When he looked at my Google account, there were also locations; the two accounts must have been synchronized.

Because your email address is not an account of your own but an alias of your boyfriend's account.
It is another address for the same account, and the account receives emails from the original email address as well as from all its aliases.

I don't understand much about it. So that means there must be one of the two people between me and my friend who made this trip? Since it's not me, it can only be him, right?

@Amelie22000,

You'd better clear that up with Google Support!
