Add or remove accounts

Add accounts

You can connect to your accounts, including your Google account, your Moto account, email, and social networking accounts.

Google account

When you set up your phone, you were prompted to add a Google account. If you skipped it then, be sure to set one up now so you can download apps from Play Store, get a customized information feed, and take full advantage of the Calendar, Gmail, and other apps included with your Google account.

To add a Google account:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords, passkeys & accounts > Add account.
  3. Tap Google and follow the onscreen instructions to add an existing account or to create a new one.
  4. Once the account is added, Calendar, Contacts, and other account features and apps are updated with information from that account. You can review and change what syncs with your phone for that account.
TipKeep your apps up-to-date. To see if newer versions of the apps associated with your Google account are available, open the Play Store app and tap your profile icon > Manage apps & device.

Moto account

Your Moto account gives you access to exclusive experiences from Motorola, like Family Space.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords, passkeys & accounts > Add account.
  3. Tap Moto Account and follow the onscreen instructions to add an existing account or to create a new one.

Email or other app account

Accounts are automatically added when you:

  • Set up corporate email
  • Set up personal email for non-Gmail addresses
  • Install apps that require a username/password to log in, such as messaging, shopping, or streaming content

To review these accounts or add another:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords, passkeys & accounts > Add account.
  3. Tap the type of account to add and follow the onscreen instructions.

    If you don't see the type of account you want to add, install the related app from Play Store, then sign into your account through the app.

  4. Once the account is added, account-related features and apps are updated with information from that account. To review and change what syncs with your phone, tap the account type, then account name.

Remove accounts

If you remove an account, information you synced will be removed from your phone, but it is not deleted from your account.

To remove an account:

  1. Go to Settings > Passwords, passkeys & accounts.
  2. Tap the account name.
  3. Tap Remove account.
TipIf you have trouble removing a corporate account, go to Settings > Security & privacy > More security & privacy > Device admin and turn off the app for the account, then try to remove it again.
