Setting up Multiple Free Gmail Accounts in the iOS App

Many people cannot live without checking their emails.

Whether the first thing you do as soon as you open your eyes in the morning is to check your email, or you’re on the bus on your way somewhere, being able to read your new messages is just as important. This is even more applicable if you have multiple email accounts. You can’t just receive a new notification for one account. It is essential that you’re using an email app that would fetch new messages for all your email accounts even when you have not opened the app.

Download Gmail for iOS

If you’re using an Apple device, Gmail for iOS is the perfect mobile email app to download. The app is able to fetch incoming messages in the background. This feature is perfect if you’re busy and don’t have enough time to open the app just to see if you have any new emails. As long as you turn on the notification for the Gmail app, you will be able to receive notifications even if your iPhone is sitting inactively on the table. This feature was not available in past versions, however, if you’re only going to download the app now, it is already available in the latest version you’re about to install.

Supports Multiple Gmail Accounts

Not only does it fetch new email messages in the background, the Gmail iOS app also supports multiple Gmail accounts. You can now save more than one Gmail account in a single app and you will receive notifications for all saved accounts. This is a very useful feature especially if you consider all your email accounts a priority, you don’t have to log out of one account just to log in on a new one.

Setting Up Multiple Gmail Accounts in the iOS App

On your Gmail app, open the menu icon (the 3 horizontal lines) at the upper left corner. Click the arrow beside your email username, followed by “Manage accounts.” From there, you will see an option to add another account. Click it and put your other Gmail information to sign in. You can save up to five different Gmail accounts in the iOS app. You can also choose to turn on or off each account. If you don’t want to receivenotifications from a certain Gmail account, just turn it off. You can easily switch it back on if you changed your mind.

Having Multiple Email Accounts is Very Useful

For some people, creating multiple email accounts is a big waste of time since you can just use one account for several purposes. However, having different emails for different purposes also has its advantages. You can have an email account for personal use and one for work purpose. If you’re a student, you can create an email solely for school stuff such as homework, projects and researches. You can also create a different email for all your social media accounts because sometimes our emails are cluttered with notifications from different social networks.
