Whether you have an iPhone or an iPad, the adding of a Google account is essentially the same... However, there are two different ways you need to consider adding an account depending on how you're going to use it: If you are
using your own device and want to sync Google's services to your iDevice or to sync your account's Apple services to Google, you'll use this option: You will be prompted with a message saying "Settings" Wants to Use "google.com" to Sign In. At this point, choose Continue At this point, you can optionally also rename the new Google account as it will, by default, be called Gmail. From the same screen (Settings > Passwords & Accounts): If you're only really interested in using the official Google apps or you are using a shared account for a range of reasons, you can add the account inside one of these apps. We're going to assume you're using the Gmail app: You will then be shown a Google Sign-in screen asking for your Email or phone number. Enter your email address and choose the blue Next button below. At this point, your account
will be available as an [additional] account for all your Google apps that you install on your iDevice. To switch between them, look for your emoticon (your face or first initial) and choose another.
Along with sending and receiving messages, you can make changes to your personal information in your Gmail settings — including your phone number. You may want to change your phone number if you've recently switched mobile carriers, changed jobs, or moved to a new country. To do so, access the settings menu on your desktop or mobile app and navigate to "Personal Information." Here's how to do it.
