How to Add an Email Account to the Gmail App on Your Phone

Managing multiple email accounts can be frustrating if you have to switch between different apps constantly. The Gmail app allows you to add and manage multiple email accounts—both Gmail and non-Gmail—from a single place.

This guide will show you how to set up and access all your emails seamlessly.

Adding an Email Account on Android

1. Open the Gmail app on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
3. Select Add another account.
4. Choose the account type:
   • Google for Gmail accounts.
   • Outlook, Hotmail, and Live for Microsoft accounts.
   • Yahoo, Exchange, or Other for other email services.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Adding an Email Account on iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Gmail app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
3. Select Add another account.
4. Choose the account type:
   • For iCloud, @me.com, or @mac.com, you may need to enter specific settings or an app password.
   • For Outlook or work/school emails, select Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.
   • If your email provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
5. Follow the on-screen steps to add your account.

Optional: Try Gmailify for Enhanced Features

After adding a non-Gmail account, you can tap Try Gmailify to enable Gmail features like spam protection and automatic email sorting for your other email accounts.

With these simple steps, you can efficiently manage multiple accounts directly within the Gmail app, saving you time and reducing the hassle of juggling separate apps.
