Gmail via their Android phone<\/a> to send and receive emails if your Gmail app is not syncing, here are a couple of things to help resolve this.<\/p>\n1. If email is urgent, use Google web or desktop<\/h3>\n
Let’s not waste time here trying to find the reason why your Gmail is not syncing on mobile.<\/p>\n
If you’re expecting a very important email, the very best thing that you can do first is forgetting the sync problem as it could most likely be a small problem that can be resolved later.<\/p>\n
Simply go to gmail.com with the chrome browser on your phone or PC, login with your credentials to make sure you get the mail you’re looking forward to, if that’s been done or isn’t the case, just confirm you’re able to log on desktop, it’ll help in debugging your Gmail not syncing<\/strong><\/em> issues \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n2. Check Your Password<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
By no means is this saying that you’ve been hacked, while the possibility is there, its very low especially if you don’t post your emails on public forums and have other fail-safe methods in place to secure your Google account like your phone number or alternate email address.<\/p>\n
Gmail may not be updated because you might have changed your email password on PC and haven’t updated it on mobile.<\/p>\n
You must do that, Gmail automatically will log you out when you change the password on PC and won’t switch to your new password unless you do, this may be the reason and if you haven’t changed your passwords recently and didn’t get a password change notification, and Gmail is still not syncing, we have to explore other options.<\/p>\n
3. Verify that you have an active internet connection<\/h3>\n
A data plan perhaps or that the Wi-Fi that you’re connected to works.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to actually think your data connection works or is on or still have an active data plan. You may need to double-check this. If you’re connected to Wi-Fi as well, It’s rare but Google services may be restricted from that Wi-Fi connection so consider this.<\/p>\n
If this still doesn’t check out, you may consider the next step.<\/p>\n
