Can a child's google account use ios mail

By default, a child's Google account cannot use the iOS Mail app to access their Gmail account. This is because the iOS Mail app requires a valid Apple ID to access email accounts, and a Google account is not an Apple ID.

However, there are a few workarounds to allow a child's Google account to use the iOS Mail app:

  1. Set up a Google account on an iPad or iPhone: If you have an iPad or iPhone, you can set up a Google account on the device, and then the child can use the Mail app to access their Gmail account. To do this, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Google, and enter the child's Google account credentials.
  2. Use the Google Mail app: You can download the official Google Mail app from the App Store, which allows the child to access their Gmail account directly. This app is designed specifically for iOS devices and provides a more streamlined email experience.
  3. Use a third-party email client: There are several third-party email clients available in the App Store that support Google accounts, such as Microsoft Outlook, Spark, or Airmail. These apps can be used to access the child's Gmail account on an iOS device.
  4. Use a managed Google account: If you're using a managed Google account for your child, you can set up a custom email client that allows them to access their Gmail account on an iOS device. This requires setting up a custom email client on the device and configuring it to use the managed Google account.

Keep in mind that some of these workarounds may require additional setup and configuration, and may have limitations or restrictions depending on your specific situation.
