I have a Gmail and an AOL mail account set up already on my new iPhone 7. My iPhone 6 had a gmail icon on the home screen. It did not have an AOL icon, but all mail notifications were and are now shown on the bottom of the screen (Mail icon).
HOW DO I GET MY GMAIL ICON ON MY HOME SCREEN?
Getting the app doesn't change the fact that you have an account already. You're going to use the same Gmail account with the app. You can chose to get notifications form the built in Mail app or the Gmail app (or both).
The overwhelming advantage of the Gmail app is that you get Push for your Gmail account. That means you get your mail as soon as it hits the sever. If you're using the built in Mail app, you only get Fetch.
You get a Gmail icon by downloading the Gmail app.
Thanks, but I have a Gmail account already which receives email. Thanks, I will try that.
Worked exactly as you explained!
I'm glad it helped!
I've actually taken to using Google's Inbox app because of the way it sorts and prioritizes my email.
I have that now. I downloaded the app. Thanks!
Yup, works like a charm. I had it in my iphone6, and it did not come over with everything else for some reason, so I did go ahead and installed fro App Store.
how do i add a gmail icon to my iphone 7 home screen?
