About your Google account
Benefits of your account
When you set up your phone, you added a Google account. If you haven't had a Google account before, this
is more than just a password you set up for your phone.
A Google account lets you organize and access your personal information and files from any computer or
mobile device:
•
Synchronize everything. Never lose your contacts. Associate them with your Google account if you
create contacts on your phone, and view them from Gmail on any computer or by signing into your
Google account on any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any
computer. Access your browser bookmarks from any device.
•
Store in the cloud. Upload your photos, videos, and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up
space on your phone.
•
Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.
Maintaining your account
Other than remembering your password, you don’t need to do much maintenance on your Google account -
just enjoy the benefits of your secure, synchronized information. However, you can:
•
Control how frequently your phone syncs your information.
•
Review and manage the information Google collects from you, such as search and browsing history.
