Accounts and Messaging

Set up accounts on your phone, to synchronize information between your phone and accounts. Use
your phone's messaging features to send text and multimedia messages.

Google

Many of your phone's applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Hangouts, and the Google
Play Store, require a Google Account. To use these applications, you must set up your Google
Account on your phone. Setting up your account on your phone syncs your phone and your online
Google Account.

Create a Google Account

If you do not already have a Google Account, you can create one online or using your phone.
Note: You can also create and sign into your Google/Gmail account through your phone's Setup
application.
Although you need a Gmail account to use certain features of your phone, such as Google Play, you
do not need to use Gmail as the default account for your phone.
