How to Add New Gmail Account in Android Phone

Gmail is Google's free email service that does much more than send and receive email. If you have more than one Gmail account, here's how to access more than one Gmail account on an Android smartphone.

Instructions in this article apply to Android 2.2 and above and should work no matter who made your Android phone, whether it is from Samsung, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, or another manufacturer.

Add Gmail Accounts to an Android Smartphone

Adding one or more additional Gmail accounts to your Android phone is a straightforward process.

  1. Tap theGmailicon on the phone's home screen or find it in the application list.

  2. In the upper-left corner of Gmail, tap themenu button to display additional options.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the menu, then tap Settings.

  4. In the Settings page, tapAdd account.

  5. In the Set up email page, choose Google.

  6. The phone takes a few seconds to load, and depending on its security, prompts you for a password. That's because you're adding a second Google account to the phone by adding this email address.

  7. When it's done, the Gmail sign-in screen appears. Either enter the existing email or select Create account at the bottom of the page. If you enter an existing email, press Next to continue.

  8. Follow the on-screen steps to enter your credentials and other necessary information.

  9. When you're done, the Gmail Settings appear. The new account list listed below in your previous account.

After you add the second account, both of the Gmail accounts are linked to your Android phone, and you can send and receive emails from either of the accounts as needed.

Reasons for Having More Than One Gmail Account

There are many reasons to have more than one Gmail account. Having separate accounts is one way to separate personal email accounts from work email accounts to preserve a work-life balance. This way, you can go on vacation and ignore your work email account while staying in contact with friends and family.

A separate Gmail account can be used for non-essential email, for example, to sign up for promotions or other marketing-related programs such as newsletters, sale alerts, promotional emails, and sweepstakes registrations. When you give your email address to these sources, they send lots of messages. If that promotion or sweepstakes sells your email address and information to another legitimate organization for marketing purposes, your inbox is going to fill with even more messages. Finally, less reputable sources of spam can obtain your email address, and the result is a lot of junk email.

With a separate Gmail account, these messages are collected in one place, away from your important personal or work email inboxes. You can choose to ignore that account and avoid sifting through the junk to find important messages.

Gmail also provides filtering help with email messages, so even in your marketing and promotional email account, spam and junk mail can be separated from those newsletter and sale promotions you are interested in.
