How to add a gmail account in the mail of the iphone 5s

The email application that comes with the iPhone 5S as standard should be enough to add all the email accounts that we use on a day-to-day basis. In addition to the iCloud email account, we can also enter email accounts from other servers such as Gmail. And that is the server that we are going to focus on in this simple tutorial for all users who want to receive their emails directly on their mobile.

The only thing that we will need to follow the tutorial that appears next is a Gmail email account and an iPhone 5S with the “ Mail ” application (this application is installed as standard). Once we have both requirements ready, let's go with the tutorial.

How to add a Gmail account in the mail of the iPhone 5S

1. First we have to enter the " Settings " application of our mobile.
2. Once we are inside this application, we must slide through the menu until we find an option with the name of " Mail, contacts, calendars ". Click on this option.
3. Within this screen we will see a first section with the name of " Accounts ", in which an option will appear with the name of "iCloud - Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc.". Below this option we have another with the name of " Add account ", and that is the option on which we must click.
4. We will see that on the screen that now opens we have different options to choose the mail server that we want to add. Since in this case what interests us is to add a Gmail email account, click on the " Google " logo.
5. Now we simply have to enter the data of our email account. The first section that appears is the " Name ", where we can enter the name associated with our email account. The " Email " and " Password " sections correspond to the data of our email account. And finally, the “ Description ” section helps us to add a small name or phrase that helps us easily identify the email account in the mobile application.

Once the account is configured, we only have to enter the " Mail " application and start managing the mail by clicking on the inbox corresponding to our Gmail account.

If we want to customize any of the aspects of the mail, we simply have to enter the option " Mail, contacts, calendars " in the " Settings " application and configure all the details that are useful to us. Among many of these options we have possibilities such as, for example, modifying the number of lines that we want to preview when checking an email in the notification center or the default signature that we want to attach to our emails. It is especially important that we verify that we do not have a default signature assigned before we start sending emails for the first time.
