Setting up iOS for Swarthmore Gmail (Apple iPhone, iPad)

Gmail and Google Calendar apps for iOS

We recommend downloading and using the Gmail and Google Calendar apps from the Apple AppStore. These apps are free and offer more integration with Gmail than the built-in apps. Using the built-in apps may also cause compatibility issues with Duo, our Two-Factor Authentication system, when updates are pushed out to your device.
