Gmail will allow you to add your Outlook and Yahoo accounts on iPhone

It is a new feature for iPhone users. In fact, owners of Android devices have been enjoying it for a long time. We are talking about the possibility of adding Outlook or Yahoo accounts in the Gmail tray itself.

If you are one of those who have a love, I say an account, in each port, this option will come to you in no time Google ends to announce via Twitter that it is testing this feature for iOS users. This means that if you have an iPhone or iPad in your hands, you will finally be on a level playing field with Android users.

In case you are willing to test this functionality, you can do so now. All you have to do is download (if you don't have it) the Gmail app for iOS. And also sign up for their beta program. Would you like to get a closer look at Google's new initiative?

You can now add your Outlook and Yahoo accounts to Gmail on iOS

Users of the Gmail app for Android now have the ability to add other mailboxes to the tool. The reason is simple. Since Gmail is the default email tool in Google's operating system, its makers were pretty much forced to support either Yahoo or Outlook mailboxes.

So much so that if you choose Add account in your Gmail application for Android, the system will offer you the possibility of including a new Gmail address. But also from Outlook, Hotmail and Live, Yahoo, Exchange and Office 365.

At the moment it is in a kind of trial period, although you can already use this functionality in iOS. Google is trying to see if adding Yahoo and Outlook accounts to Gmail can be useful, also for iPhone users.

A major and difficult change for Gmail

The change is important, because it turns things around on iOS. And it is that the application would not only become a useful tool for users to access their mail in Gmail. But so that, in general, they used it as the default application to check the mail of all their accounts.Whether or not they are part of the Google conglomerate.

But beware, Gmail won't have it easy at all. Apple restricts users from changing the default app on iOS . If Google wants to achieve this, it is clear that it will have to get down to business with it. And it won't be easy.

You can now try this Gmail functionality on your iPhone

If you have an iPhone and want to add Outlook or Yahoo accounts to your Gmail app, the first thing you'll need to do is sign up for the trial that's running Google And in fact, this feature is only available within a beta version. If you want to access it, you will first have to register through this form.

To be able to participate, you will need to meet some requirements. El first, that you are currently a user of the Gmail app for iOSThat is, that you already had it installed on your iPhone. The second, that you have an extra email account that is not Gmail. In principle, it may be from Outook, Yahoo or others, which may be IMAP. The third and last requirement is that you have a device running iOS 10 or higher.

If the tests come to fruition, this feature will most likely finally make it to the final version of Gmail for iOS. And that all users can enjoy it without problems.
