Get all of your Google accounts onto one phone

How do I add a second Google account on my device? Here is how.

Instead of trying to keep all of your Google accounts in order on multiple devices, why not have everything on one device? Android has made it easy to add accounts, sync accounts, and remove accounts — here's how.

How to add a second Google account to your Android phone

  1. Launch Settings from your Home screen, the app drawer, or the Notification Shade.
  2. Swipe up in the Settings menu to scroll down.
  3. Tap Accounts.

  4. Tap Add Account.

  5. Tap Google.

  6. Type in your email address in the provided field. You can also create a new account to be added.

  7. Tap Next.
  8. Type your password.
  9. Tap Next.

How to remove a Google account from your Android phone

  1. Swipe down from the top of the Home screen.
  2. Tap the Settings button. It looks like a gear.
  3. Swipe up in the Settings menu to scroll down.

  4. Tap Accounts.

  5. Tap Google.
  6. Tap the Google account you'd like to remove.
  7. Tap Remove account.

  8. Tap Remove account to confirm the account removal.

When you remove any Google account, all the data associated with it is deleted from your phone. Your account isn't deleted from the cloud, so things like contacts or paid apps can be retrieved if you re-add the account or use the account on another device, but all your local data (like messages or app settings) is gone forever. You'll see a warning about data deletion before you finish the process.

How to add a second Google account on Samsung phones

Because Samsung and other manufacturers tend to change the Android user interface, the exact steps above won't always apply. Here's how you add a second Google account on Samsung phones.

  1. Launch Settings from your Home screen, the app drawer, or the Notification Shade.
  2. Swipe up in the Settings menu to scroll down.

  3. Tap Accounts and backup.

  4. Tap Accounts.

  5. Tap Add Account.

  6. Tap Google.
  7. Type in your email address in the provided field. You can also create a new account to be added.
  8. Tap Next.
  9. Type your password.

  10. Tap Next.

Our top equipment picks

If you're in the market for a new Android phone, you can't do much better than Samsung's Galaxy S20 line. I'm partial to the standard S20 because it has most of what makes the bigger options special while staying manageable to hold with one hand. If that's too rich for your blood, consider the excellent Google Pixel 3a.

Galaxy 2020

Samsung Galaxy S20

$1,000 at Samsung

Samsung's latest flagship has it all

While the S20 Ultra was meant to wow, and the S20+ is beloved by reviewers, for me, the regular S20 is the way to go. Great camera, great screen, great battery life, and great size.

Best value

Google Pixel 3a

$320 at Amazon $350 at Best Buy

Google's budget phone has a ton going for it.

The Pixel 3a has flagship camera quality but at a fraction of the price. It's also one of the few great compact phones available.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
