Gmail is one of Google’s most popular email platforms, with the highest number of users worldwide. Google also offers other interesting supplementary services linked to Gmail accounts, such as Google Docs for document work, Google Drive for data storage, and Google Calendar for note-taking and important date reminders.
There are many services available on Gmail, but what makes Gmail special is that you can access all these services through a single mobile phone. However, before you can do that, you need to learn how to log in to Gmail. Here’s the easy method that Sixtygram recommends:
How to Sign in to Gmail on Mobile:
1. Download the Gmail app on iOS devices for iPhone and iPad, or Android App for Android phones.
2. Press the “Sign in” button at the bottom of the screen. At this step, you can easily link or add other Gmail accounts in your possession by tapping the “Add another account” button.
3. On the next page, tap “Google“.
4. Your phone will show a notification window asking you to press “Continue” to allow Gmail to use the password from your Google Account to sign in.
5. The next page will ask you to enter your Gmail or phone number and password for normal login. When you’ve entered all the information, tap the “Next” button. You can also click on the “Remember Me” sign to keep your logged-in account on the device until you manually sign out again.
6. Once you’ve completed the Gmail login, you’ll see your Inbox and can start using the message receiving-sending service or other additional services from Google linked to Gmail immediately.
How to Sign in to Gmail on Computer

2. Enter your email address or phone number linked to your email and press “Next“.
3. The Gmail system will request your account password. After entering the password, press “Next” to continue.
4. Once you’ve completed signing in to Gmail on your computer, you’ll see your Inbox and can start using the message receiving-sending service or other additional services from Google linked to Gmail immediately, just like signing in to Gmail on mobile.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail:
Can I use a Hotmail account to sign in to Gmail?
Google offers an option in Gmail to automatically transfer all emails and contacts from Hotmail to Gmail. This service can also forward letters sent to your Hotmail account to your current Gmail account.
How can I sign in with other accounts?
If you have more than one Gmail account, which Google allows, you can add user accounts by tapping on your profile or username and selecting the “Add account” button immediately.
What should I do if I forget my Gmail Account password?
If you forget your Gmail password, you need to change or reset it. We’ll divide this into two cases:
1. If you’re still logged into Gmail on a device, change your password by tapping on the menu: Manage Google Account > Security > Enter new password, then tap Confirm, Change password.
2. If you’ve forgotten your password and are not logged in on any device, choose Reset password by following the account recovery steps. The Gmail system will ask questions to confirm that the account is really yours and will send you an email to resolve the issue. Once the system verifies that the account is indeed yours, you’ll receive a password change link to proceed as in the first case.
How to delete a Gmail account on mobile?
When you no longer want the services in Gmail, you can delete your Gmail account. This deletion is separate from deleting your Google account. For the steps, we recommend backing up all important data first. Then, open the Gmail app on your mobile phone, tap on Google Account menu > Data & privacy > Data from apps and services you use > Tap the Delete Google service button, which is a trash can icon. Just like that, your Gmail account will be deleted immediately.
How to sign out of Gmail on mobile?
Open the Gmail app, then tap on your profile or username on the right side, and tap the Sign Out button at the bottom of the screen.
How to sign out when Gmail is on another device?
Open the Gmail app, then tap on your profile or username on the right side. Select Manage your Google Account > Security. Scroll down to the “Your devices” section, click Manage all devices, then select the other device you want to sign out from, and click Sign out. That’s it, you’re done.
