Adding the Gmail App on Mobile Devices
We strongly recommend using Google’s own Gmail application on all iOS or Android devices instead of your phone’s own mail application. However, note that any Veracross Composer emails that you receive will NOT be responsive in these apps (meaning the content will not adjust to fit your screen). If you prefer ease of reading over other functionality, using your phone’s mail application may be preferable.

Setting Up Gmail Using Your Mobile Device’s App
This is not recommended, but you may prefer to use the apps you already know and love.
