When you set up your phone, you were prompted to add a Google account. If you skipped this, be sure to set one up now so you can download apps from Play Store, get a customized information feed, and take full advantage of the Calendar, Gmail, and other apps included with your Google account.

For more information, see Add or remove an account on Android.

To add a Google account:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Touch Accounts > Add account.
3. Touch Google and follow the onscreen instructions to add an existing account or to create a new one.
4. Once the account is added, Calendar, Contacts, and other account features and apps are updated with information from that account. You can review and change what syncs with your phone for that account.

Tip : Keep your apps up-to-date. To see if newer versions of the apps associated with your Google account are available, open the Play Store app and touch > My apps & games.

Add non-Google account

Accounts are automatically added when you:

• Set up corporate email
• Set up personal email for non-Gmail addresses
• Install apps that require a username/password to log in, such as messaging, shopping, or streaming content

To review these accounts or add another:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Touch Accounts > Add account.
3. Touch the type of account to add and follow the onscreen instructions.
   If you don't see the type of account you want to add, install the related app from Play Store, then sign into your account through the app.
4. Once the account is added, account-related features and apps are updated with information from that account. To review and change what syncs with your phone, touch the account type, then account name.

Remove account

If you remove an account, information you synced will be removed from your phone, but it is not deleted from your account.

To remove an account:

1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
2. Touch the account name.
3. Touch Remove account.

Tip: If you have trouble removing a corporate account, go to Settings > Security & location > Advanced > Device admin apps and turn off the app for the account, then try to remove it again.
