Can't Add Google Account to iPhone

I'm trying to add a Google account to my iPhone XS (IOS 15.3.1), but after I enter a user name, but progress bar hangs about 1/3 of the way across the screen. I can't log into Google using Safari. I have no problem with my iPad or Mac.


I've tried clearing all Safari experimental features, but this didn't help.

OK, I got it fixed, but I'm not sure exactly what did it.


On my iPhone I went to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Web Data and cleared out any cookies related to Google. Restarted Safari, but it still hung when I entered my username.


Tried the same, but instead of just Google cookies, I eliminated all of them. Still had the problem.


My VPN was inactive, but I started and stopped my VPN and it worked.


Most of the ideas for this round of attempts came from support.google.com
