Easily Add Another Google Account to Your Android Device
When you first set up your new Android device, be sure that you’re asked to either log in to your Google account, or create a new one. This is a necessary step as long as your Google account is the one that connects you to Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, along with an entire suite of apps and services.
Everything seems to be attached to your Google account, but what happens if you have more than one Google account for several different Google services, a Gmail address for professional use, as well as an account for personal use or even a new one for your kids? Well, let me tell you that you can easily add another Google Account to your Android device.
