Accounts and Messaging
Set up accounts on your phone to synchronize information between your phone and accounts.
Google Account
Many of your phone’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, 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.

Note: Although you need a Gmail account to use certain features of your phone, such as
Google Play Store, you do not need to use Gmail as the default account for your phone.
