How to add Gmail to the Apple native Mail app? Since the new iOS came my Gmail account stopped receiving new mail. I was advised to delete the account and add it anew. When I do that I'm prompted to enable the cookies and instructions are provided. At the displayed location, however, (Settings > Safari) I don't have a toggle to (un)block the cookies. Because of this, I cannot add to the Mail app my Gmail account. What is the workaround to this? Both my iPhone and iPad suffer the same issue. Thank you

I have tried that but don’t have ‘mail’ to choose from in settings. I don’t have Apple mail installed on my iPhone, could this be causing the problem ?
