How to create a new Gmail account on mobile phone

If you don’t have access to a PC or desktop, here’s how you can create a new Gmail account on mobile phone:

Android

In order to get the most out of an Android phone, signing into a Gmail account is of utter importance as without it the experience of using the phone can be very restrictive. For instance, without a Gmail account signed in you won’t be able to download apps from the Play Store, neither view your emails or have access to various Google-based apps.

iPhone

To create a Gmail account on an iPhone, you can either create one through iOS’ Mail app or through the ‘Gmail’ app by downloading it from the App Store. The process is fairly similar in both. For this guide, we’ll explain the process through the Gmail app.

• Open the Gmail app on your iPhone. Download it, if you don’t have the app installed
• Next tap on ‘Sign in’
• It’ll ask you to log in with an existing Gmail account. But below that, there’s an option called ‘Create account’. Select it
• Now follow the instructions accordingly such as entering your first and last name
• Then enter your date of birth and gender and hit ‘Next’
• From here you can choose an email address as suggested or create your own
• Alternatively, there’s also an option to sign up with a mobile number
• On the next screen, type in your new password as preferred and hit ‘Next’
• Now it’ll prompt you to accept the privacy and terms. Scroll down and tap ‘I agree’
• Once done you’ll have a fresh new Gmail account created which you can start using right away

Do keep a note of your new Gmail ID and password for future logins on other devices.
