Set up Google Workspace on Android
- Navigate to the Settings app on your device.
- Find the “@” icon for email under “Applications” and click it.
- Use the Gmail app or choose “Other” from the list of options.

- Optional: you can choose to allow or prohibit email from accessing your contacts: it’s optional
- Optional: screen overlay permissions
- When finished, the message “account sign-in successful” should appear.
