This did not work for me. I have an iPhone 6. Here's what I did: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Google. The screen I get is a sign in screen "Sign in with your Google Account," which I did. When I do, I see a faded screen that says Gmail in the top center and has four items (including Contacts) with the green slider button turned to "on." The phone "works" (little circle turning) for a little while, then returns to the screen with the list of servers (iCloud, Exchange, Google, etc.) No changes have been made to my phone as a result.


I need the contacts in my Google email account to sync with my iPhone, and this evidently hasn't happened for months. I would be grateful for your help!
