No matter what phone or tablet you use, you can check Gmail anywhere. You can set it up in your device’s built-in email app or install the Gmail app for Android or iPhone.

Two Ways to Access Gmail

1. Use your device’s native email app
This is best if you have more than one email account. You can see all your messages in one place, no matter which provider you use.

2. Use the Gmail mobile app
This is best if you already use Gmail on your computer. The app looks and works like the desktop version and includes extra Gmail features.
