If using a browser to access Gmail, have you signed-in to Google Mai?

https://mail.google.com


As suggested by lobsterghost1, the simplest and most consistent method of accessing Google Mail (and any other email accounts) from your iPad is to consider using the native Mail App. Your email accounts are simply added from iPad settings:

Settings > Apps > Mail > Mail Accounts > Add Account


Simply select your the mail provider from the list - and follow the prompt to add the account.


The often overlooked iPad User Guide is a rich source of information about using your iPad and iPadOS. Here is a direct link to the relevant section of the Guide:
