Those “unknown device” entries in Google usually just mean Google couldn’t pull a proper model name from the iOS Account Manager login, not that someone else is actually on your Apple ID. iPhones sometimes show up that way if you signed in through Safari but there's no way to identify the model.


If they’re all marked as signed out and you don’t see any weird activity in your Gmail or Google security page, it’s probably just old sessions sticking around.
