information through many different channels and accounts.
Google Account
Many of your phone’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Hangout, and the
Google Play Store, require a Google account. To use these apps on your phone, 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.
