If you have a Google account and you are unable to sync up your email, calendar, drive, photos, and other data, then you might be facing a syncing problem with your Android device. There can be various reasons for this issue, such as poor internet connection or a problem with your Google account itself. In this article, we will discuss how to fix Gmail sync error on your Android device.
Firstly, check your internet connection by opening a browser and testing your internet speed. If you find an issue with your internet, turn on the airplane mode, wait for some time, and then turn it back off. After checking your internet connection, open your Google account settings on your Android device. To do this, go to your device settings, scroll down to find Google settings, tap on the arrow icon, and then tap on manage accounts on this device. If you have multiple Google accounts on your device, choose the account you are currently having problems with.
Once you have selected your account, tap on account sync. Make sure that the options for contact documentation, drive, Gmail, calendar, news, and more are toggled on. This should start syncing your account automatically. If you still have issues, tap on the three-dot line and select sync now to initiate a manual sync.
If this does not work, you can try removing your Google account and then re-adding it. Sometimes, signing out or signing in to your account can solve the problem. For Gmail, you can check your sync settings by opening the Gmail application on your device, tapping on the hamburger icon, scrolling down to settings, and choosing your Google account. Make sure to select the option called sync Gmail.
These are the ways that you can try to solve syncing errors on your Android device for your Google account. By following these steps, you should be able to get your data synced up automatically without any issues.
