Multiple Google


Accounts


It is possible to have more than one Google account
and then sync those accounts on your Android phone
or tablet.

Step 17
❱ If you wish to give up on Google, we would advise you not to,
you can delete your apps and account itself by ticking the two Yes
boxes at the bottom of this page.


Step 16
❱ You can change the language of your account using the
Language & Input Tools and change the way Google is displayed
via the Accessibility tools, from increased contrast to a text reading.


Step 19
❱ Having set up your Google account, you can return to check/
change any settings via the account home page located at:
myaccount.google.com.

Step 18
❱ Finally, return to the main Google accounts page. By tapping the
icon, top right, you can add a profile picture if you wish. Having a
profile picture of yourself will help friends and family find you on
their own Google apps.


Google Account Set Up


Adding and syncing a second account will not merge
those two accounts anywhere but on your phone (and
even here, only in certain apps). Nothing is ever synced
between your Google accounts, allowing you to keep
things nicely separate for personal and work accounts,
for example.

To add another account via your phone or tablet, go
to Settings > Accounts and then tap the Add Account
button. This screen shows all accounts associated with
the device. Choose what sort of account you wish to add
from the options on the screen; as you can see, it is not
just multiple Google accounts that you can add.
