You can access your Connect Google Workspace account on your iOS device using either Apple's built-in Mail app or with Google's custom Gmail app. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Gmail app for the best experience.
Gmail App (RECOMMENDED)
- Open the App Store app, search for "Gmail app" and install the "Gmail - email from Google" app.
- Open the Gmail app and select Google. Click Continue. Sign in with your Connect Address (UCSBnetID@ucsb.edu) for the Username, and your UCSBnetID password, and click Next.
- Enter your SSO credentials and authenticate with Duo.
-
Click Done.
Mail App (Apple's built-in mail client)
- Open the Settings app, select Mail (or in some iOS versions, Passwords & Accounts then Mail), select Accounts, and then select Add Account.
On the Add Account screen, choose Google as the account type. - Enter your Connect email address (UCSBNetID@ucsb.edu) and tap Done.
- At the SSO screen enter your UCSBnetID (without @ucsb.edu) and your password. Authenticate using Duo.
- Click Save.
NOTE: If you have activated 2SV for your Connect account, you must use the "app password" you created for Mail on your iPhone/iPad. For more information on 2FA and app passwords, go here.
