I can't add a gmail email account to my iPhone?

I'm trying to add a gmail account to my iPhone. Since Google is one of the predefined services that appears when beginning the process of adding a new email account, I assume that Apple allows gmail accounts. But when I try to add the account, I get an incorrect username or password error. I have logged into my gmail account on my computer to ensure that I was entering the correct password. So, since I CAN log into my gmail account on my computer, why can't I add it as an account on my iPhone? Thanks in advance for any help!I can t add a gmail email account to my iPhone

Easiest way is to download the Gmail app from the app store.

I had that issue once and it was just a type-o
make sure when you do the password that you do it case sensitive and that you pay close attention to every letter. I found my iPhone keyboard sometimes takes the letter beside the one I want.

A while back, I linked these accounts together somehow (it's been so long I forgot how) so I would only have to access one account to read all my email, but now when I get an email in my Gmail account, I get that exact same email in my Outlook account a few minutes later, and I keep getting notification noises on my iPhone and have to spend time deleting the extra emails. It's really annoying me and I want to undo it, but I don't know how!
  • How to add another account to my current Rhapsody account? A while back I made a Rhapsody account for my girlfriend and now I kinda want to use it, too. The account can only be used with one of our iPhones, apparently. I remember seeing somewhere an option to pay $5 more for another phone to be able to use the account, but now I can't remember how to do that. Also, if I use Rhapsody on both phones, will my downloads pop up on her phone? Just curious.
