Gmail for mobile devices

If you have a mobile device, there are two main ways to access your Gmail account:

  • Option 1: The native email app on your device. If you have multiple email accounts through different email providers (such as a personal email and a work email), you may find the native email application to be more convenient, as it allows you to view and manage all of your messages in one place.
  • Option 2: The official Gmail mobile app, available for iOS and Android. If you're already an experienced Gmail user, you may prefer using the official Gmail app. The app looks and feels very similar to the desktop version, and it does include some custom Gmail features that may not be available in the native email app on your device.
