Managing Multiple Accounts on iOS

Add New Account

iOS Account Manager supports:

• Apple ID
• Gmail
• Yahoo
• Outlook

Managing your Google accounts on iOS devices, including logging out of your Gmail account, can sometimes be challenging due to the iOS Account Manager’s persistent connection to your Google accounts.

2. Select the account type you want to add
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your credentials

Remove Account

1. Select the account you want to remove
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap “Delete Account”
3. Confirm you want to delete the account

Super administrators can also select and delete more than one user at a time from Google Workspace groups to effectively manage user access and settings on the iPhone.

Note: Removing an account will delete all data associated with that account from your device including emails, contacts and calendar events.

Google Account on iOS

Google accounts are one of the most used account types on iOS devices. iOS Account Manager integrates with Google’s account management system so you can access all Google services from your iOS device.

Add Google Account on iOS

To add a Google account to your iOS device:

1. Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts
2. Tap “Add Account” > Google
3. Enter your Gmail address and password
4. Choose which Google services to sync (e.g. Mail, Contacts, Calendar)

In the Google Admin app, selecting a user’s image allows you to perform actions such as adding or deleting a user from Google Workspace.

Google Account Security Settings

iOS Account Manager respects the security settings you have set up for your Google account. This includes:

• Two-factor authentication
• App-specific passwords
• Security alerts for new logins

To manage these settings you need to go to your Google account security settings through a web browser or the Google Admin app.

iOS Mail App and Account Manager

The iOS Mail app is tightly integrated with the Account Manager so you can manage multiple email accounts in one place. This means you:

• See emails from multiple accounts in one inbox
• Send emails from multiple accounts without switching apps
• Customise notification settings for each account

Device Management and iOS Account Manager

For Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) organisations, the iOS Account Manager is key to device management. Super admin accounts can use this feature to:

• Deploy Google apps across multiple iOS devices
• Manage user access to company resources
• Enforce policies on personal devices

The Google Admin app on the App Store has additional tools to manage iOS devices within a Google Workspace group.

Secure with iOS Account Manager

Passwords

iOS Account Manager doesn’t act as a full password manager but does have some password related features:

• Store account passwords securely
• Autofill login credentials in Safari and other apps
• Generate strong passwords for new accounts

For full password management consider using a dedicated password manager app along with iOS Account Manager.

Protect Your Accounts

To secure your iOS accounts:

1. Use strong, unique passwords for each account
2. Turn on two-factor authentication where available
3. Review and update your account settings regularly
4. Be careful when giving apps access to your accounts
