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.
If you do not already have a Google Account, you can create one online or using your phone.
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.
