No, when you change the session length in Google admin console (as shown above), then settings only apply to new sessions.

Please note -: This will log the user out from all active sessions include the mobile app such as Gmail App on Android or iOS.
So be careful, I recall once I accidentally did it to our client’s CEO’s account and he had to login again to all his 6 devices, that was a tough day for me:).
Yes & No
Let me explain
As per Google’s documentation “Chrome Broswer” on Android and iOS works a bit different and these settings will NOT be applied on it, however other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox are covered by this setting.
No, it does not apply on Google Workspace mobile apps (e.g Gmail or Drive app on Android and iOS).
So, let say, if you configure session to be 8 hours, users on mobile devices with native Google Workspace apps will “NOT” need to enter their password every 8 hours which is good else it’ll be a nightmare:).
Yes.
Though at the time of initial launch of session control, it was only supported where Google was acting as IDP, but just after couple of weeks, Google enhanced its session control and now it applies on SAML based authentication too where Google isn’t acting as authentication provider.
So if you are using a third party IDP (e.g Okta, Ping Identity or ADFS), this setting will now apply to those Google Workspace sessions too.
No.
Google Workspace Admin session timeout is “One Hour”, and as its a persistent one, which means closing the browser won’t impact the session but one hour time would.
No.
So far following static options are available to control sessions-:
1 Hour
4 Hours
8 Hours
12 Hours

7 Days
