While services like Hotmail (now Microsoft Hotmail), Yahoo! Mail, and other web email services have slipped and faltered, Gmail has grown stronger with time.

In the past few years, tablets have joined smartphones as an alternative accessing the Web and your emails while on the move.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise then that no matter what tablet or smartphone you use, Gmail is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/gmail\/about\/\">available for you in some form or another<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Gmail on Android<\/h3>\n<p>On Android smartphones and tablets, the Gmail app sits front and center. It is Google\u2019s own creation, and it provides you with <em>nearly<\/em> every function characterized by the web version of Gmail. That\u2019s sensible because Android devices run Google\u2019s software \u2013 it\u2019s with other mobile platforms that a dilemma arises.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/gmail-on-iphone\/gmail-android.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"326\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image Source: PopHerald)<\/small><\/p>\n<h3>Gmail on iOS<\/h3>\n<p>On the iPhone many, if not most, <strong>users run Gmail through the default Mail app<\/strong>. The interface is nice and simple. It runs fast, and gives you all the basics of your email right in your inbox. You can even run multiple accounts through the Mail app, so you can have all of your emails in one place. Yet there is plenty missing from a Gmail perspective.<\/p>\n<p>To compensate for this, Google has released a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/gmail\/id422689480\">Gmail app for the iPhone<\/a>. But the question remains: <strong>which provides the better Gmail experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Gmail on iOS Mail App<\/h2>\n<p>First, here\u2019s how you can set up your Gmail account on your iPhone\u2019s Mail app.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Tap <strong>Mail, Contacts, Calendars<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Tap<strong>Add Account\u2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Tap <strong>Gmail<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Fill out your name, full Gmail address, and password<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/gmail-on-iphone\/gmail-ios.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s just one hitch to this process: your iPhone will pull messages from the server at a certain interval (which you can set). That means your phone\u2019s <strong>battery will drain faster<\/strong> and you <strong>won\u2019t be able to see new messages instantly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, there\u2019s an easy workaround to this issue.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Microsoft Exchange<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want instant push email, you can check out this <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/a\/users\/answer\/138740?visit_id=637638567215813615-661288196&hl=en&rd=1\">Google support doc<\/a> that goes over the process. Essentially, you\u2019ll set up your Gmail as a \u2018Microsoft Exchange\u2019 account. You\u2019ll select this from the <strong>Add Account\u2026<\/strong> menu, rather than Gmail.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/gmail-on-iphone\/gmail-exchange.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Using the server <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.google\/products\/\">m.google.com<\/a>, you can set this up in a minute or so. Once you\u2019ve set up your Gmail as a Microsoft Exchange account, you can enjoy instant emails on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>There are Limitations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Still, there are some inadequacies. The Mail app lacks several features that Gmail users love. Yes, they import your labels as folders and sync them both ways, so you can still label every bit of mail you receive. Have you ever tried to do the following on the Mail app?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Archive an email<\/li>\n<li>Mark an email as unread<\/li>\n<li>Report an email for spam<\/li>\n<li>Undo an action<\/li>\n<li>Reply from one of your \"send mail as\" accounts<\/li>\n<li>Search for an archived message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Granted that some of these <strong>are possible<\/strong> with the Mail app, but <strong>the process isn\u2019t easy<\/strong>. It\u2019s enough to frustrate a loyal Gmail user. I\u2019ve often wondered how many have jumped ship to Android, just for the easier use of Gmail.<\/p>\n<h2>Gmail for iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>Last year Google released a dedicated <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/gmail\/id422689480\">app<\/a> for the iPhone. It launched to lukewarm and even poor reviews, but Google did make improvements in the following few months. What they have now is a usable app that is in many ways superior to Apple\u2019s Mail app. Any dedicated Gmail user would do well to use it instead of Mail.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/gmail-on-iphone\/gmail-app.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"429\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Why use the Gmail mobile app?<\/strong> The reasons could fill pages and pages, but here are the best ones.<\/p>\n<h3>Instant updates<\/h3>\n<p>When you get a new email, the badge on the Gmail app updates. This is pretty standard, of course, but it\u2019s something the app has over the standard Gmail setup on iPhone.<\/p>\n<h3>Priority Inbox<\/h3>\n<p>One of the greatest Gmail features Google ever introduced was priority Inbox. This means nothing on the iPhone Mail app, but it means everything in the Gmail app. <strong>With just a tap, you can filter<\/strong> your important and unread emails, your starred emails, or just view everything in traditional mode.<\/p>\n<h3>Archives and search<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a compulsive email archiver, the Mail app might frustrate you. But with the Gmail app there\u2019s an <strong>archive icon right on the screen<\/strong>. You can also<strong> search through your archived mails with ease<\/strong>. On the Mail app, the search doesn\u2019t work too well unless the email is actually on the device.<\/p>\n<h3>Advanced functions<\/h3>\n<p>Tap the <strong>down arrow<\/strong> in any email and you\u2019ll see many familiar options. Most notably, you can <strong>report an email for spam<\/strong> (unavailable in Mail) or <strong>mark it as unread<\/strong> (have to be in the main inbox, and requires a few clicks in Mail). You can also easily <strong>add a label<\/strong> from there as well, and even print if you need to.<\/p>\n<h3>Undo actions<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes our fingers slip and delete or archive a mail when we didn\u2019t intend to do that. This is <strong>particularly bothersome in two-way sync environments<\/strong>. But with the Gmail app you can simply click <strong>Undo<\/strong> and get it all back intact.<\/p>\n<h3>Send mail as<\/h3>\n<p>When you load the Gmail app, <strong>you can send mail under any of your authorized gmail addresses<\/strong>. You can set this up in the Mail app if you use the Microsoft Exchange method, but that\u2019s an extra step you have to take.<\/p>\n<h3>The Drawback: Launch Speed<\/h3>\n<p>There is but one drawback to the Gmail for iPhone app: <strong>it takes a while to load<\/strong>. While it does show your unread message count in the badge on the home screen, those mails aren\u2019t instantly loaded when you click on the icon. You <strong>might sit through 10 seconds<\/strong> with the Gmail logo on your screen waiting for it to load. But if you can handle that small delay (and it\u2019s really not much), there\u2019s really nothing the Mail app has over Gmail for iPhone.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrap Up<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, customization on a smartphone or tablet is a personal decision, so perhaps some people feel more comfortable using the Microsoft Exchange method in the Mail app. Heavy Gmail users will find many more of their favorite features in the Gmail for iPhone app. If you don\u2019t have it, it\u2019s worth a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/gmail\/id422689480\">download from the App Store<\/a>. If you have it and don\u2019t use it, perhaps it\u2019s time to give it a whirl.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to set up and use Gmail on your iPhone with this step-by-step guide.
