how do i add a gmail icon to my iphone 7 home screen?

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.
