Synchronizing Information

Some applications on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal information

that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change, or delete your

information in any of these applications on the web, the updated information also appears on

your mobile phone.

This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process occurs in the

background and does not interfere with use of your mobile phone.

Managing Your Accounts

You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone with

multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the applications installed

on your mobile phone.

For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your personal email,

contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a work account, so your

work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like, you may add multiple Google

accounts or other accounts.
