Gmail is Google’s email platform. It was developed with the aim of being a top competitor in the market. Since the moment of its launch, Gmail has created trouble for email providers such as Outlook and Yahoo because of its simplicity of use and friendly interface. Gmail is highly efficient and it offers a great deal of security and comfort thanks to its powerful spam filters and its intuitive label system. When you turn on for the first time a device that uses an Android operative system, it will ask for a Gmail account and password. Your Gmail account will serve as a mean of identification on Android systems.
Gmail and Android
Your Gmail account stores information, contacts, events and much more data. Android apps and features use these pieces of information to keep your preferences present even if you switch devices. The idea is that wherever you log in with you Gmail account, your data should be available for your comfort.
On mobile devices this is particularly useful because you are able to store contacts online, rather than on a SIM card, which can get damaged or lost. Your Gmail account is independent off your phone, so it will always be safely stored on Google’s servers, along with your files and contacts.
To download Android apps and games you must access the Google Play Store. The Play Store contains thousands of apps for users to freely download; these include social media apps, camera apps, games, word processors and much more. Every app has a rating and a set of reviews that are written by its users and those who download the app.
To be able to write these reviews, download apps and rate them, one must possess a Gmail account. The Gmail account serves as a way of keeping track of what apps you download. If the contents of your smartphone or tablet get deleted, you can easily recover the apps you had installed by browsing your “My Apps” section on the Google Play Store.
Your Gmail account also serves as Chrome identification, where your search preferences, location and bookmarks will be stored. If you log in with your Gmail account in a Chrome browser, your settings can be imported right away if you wish to.
It is pretty much mandatory to have a Gmail account if you wish to use an Android system. The Gmail account will serve as the main way that you will access the information on your device, whether it’s a tablet or a Smartphone. The Gmail account you use is completely independent, but it will be linked to that device until you choose to sign out of it.
You can create an unlimited amount of Gmail accounts, but you must do so manually, which can be exhausting. Most people possess 2 or 3 Gmail accounts for different purposes. If you’re a casual user then just visit mail.google.com and create an account. It is easy, free and it will not be deleted even if you stop using it for a long time.
