Sync apps with your Google account
About syncing
What sync does
When your phone syncs, your Google apps refresh their data, and you get notifications about updates.
Which apps sync
By default, apps made by Google sync automatically. You can turn auto-sync off and back on for individual
apps.
Whether other apps (not made by Google) can sync varies by app.
If you turn off auto-sync
Turning off auto-sync doesn’t remove the app or your data. It only stops the app from automatically
refreshing your data.
To receive emails, calendar reminders, or other notifications from Google apps, you’ll need to sync
manually.
