Android OS is a Google product, and when you get a new Android phone or tablet. You need to add your Google account to the device in order to use Google Play and many other services on the device. If you got an account already, you just need to sign in. But, if you don't own a Google Account, you need to sign up for it. Now, it's simple and streamlined process to add one ore more Google accounts to your Android phone or tablets, regardless of which manufacturer's handset you're currently using.Though you can add a Google account later, it is advised to add it while setting up your phone for the very first time. Because, after setting up the phone, you may want to install a few apps on your device, and for that, you need to go to Google Play. And, Google Play needs you to login to it using Google Account.
Therefore, it's good to add the account at first. Adding the account also enables you to get your emails on your phone while you are on the Go.While setting up the phone, it automatically asks you to either sign in or sign up for a Google Account. Just do it as per the on screen instruction, and you are done. By any chance, if you haven't added the account at the time of setting up, you can do it later as well.While I'll be using a Samsung Galaxy S6 for this tutorial, you should be able to easily follow along on mostly any of the Android handsets out there. Below I am mentioning the steps to add a Google account on your Android Device.

Everyone who owns an Android phone has a Google account, but there are lots of other apps on our phones that all require their own login credentials. The longer you have your phone the more they can pile up, and before long, your app drawer is filled with all sorts of services that may or may not be tied to an active account.But you don’t have to open each app to manage them.
Whether you want to add, remove, or tweak one of your accounts, Google has built a handy way to do it right inside the Settings app. Let us show you how to do it. GreenbotThe Accounts tab in Settings holds the keys to all of the online accounts on your phone.Under the Personal tab in Settings, you’ll find an option for Accounts.
This is separate from the Google tab, where you’ll find a slew of preferences related to how your Google account operates on your device. Accounts keeps a running list of the social media, storage, and email accounts you have on your phone and gives you the power to delete them and control their background activities.Once you open the tab you’ll instantly be met with an alphabetical list of any apps on your phone that have active accounts tied to them. All of your Google accounts will be fittingly collected under the Google tab, but any other email addresses you use will be tied to the appropriate client. So if you use Newton Mail and Gmail to manage your iCloud address, they will show separately. GreenbotThese two screens might look the same, but the Add Account page also includes any apps that haven’t been linked with an account yet.At the bottom of the list you’ll find an Add account button, which does exactly what you’d expect it to do. Tap it and you’ll get a list of all the apps on your phone that require an account, so you can link a new one or add another to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc.Select one of the apps in the list and you’ll be taken to its respective login page where you can login with a new username. (The Google button, which takes you to Google Play Services account page, requires fingerprint or passcode authentication first.) When you return to the Accounts page it will have been added to active list.
GreenbotYou can adjust the sync settings for individual apps or turn it off completely in the Account tab.Along with adding accounts, you can also manage how much data each is using in the background. Every app has its own sync settings, so you’ll be able to get a handle on any that may be harpooning your battery life. Most provide a simple on/off switch, but some offer more granular controls, particularly the Google app, which has 13 toggles for each of its various apps and services. You can also opt to turn off auto sync completely by tapping the three dots in the top-right corner and unchecking the Auto-sync data box.While you’ll have to visit the individual apps to do things like change your password or turn on 2-factor authentication, you can still use the menu to remove any dormant or compromised accounts. For example, if you wanted to delete a Google account from your phone, you would tap the app icon, select the account you want to remove (if more than one is linked), and press the menu button in the top right corner. Then, in the drop-down menu, select Remove account, confirm it’s what you actually want to do it, and it’ll be instantly wiped away from your phone.
GreenbotIf you want to get rid of an account completely, you can do that in the Accounts menu.Repeat that process for any account you want to remove from your phone. However, remember that this method only unlinks the account. To delete the app completely, you’ll need to find the icon on your phone, tap and told it, and move it to the Uninstall droplet at the top of the screen.
