To best access Google Mail and Calendar on an iPhone/iPad, use the corresponding Google app: Gmail, Google Calendar. To view your Google Contacts* in the iPhone Contacts app or to use the built in Apple apps, set up your Google Account on your device as follows:

I: Before Setting up in Google or Apple Apps

To access Stony Brook's Google Apps on a mobile device using Apple or Google apps, you have to first change your NetID password in SOLAR.

It takes 10-15 minutes for the new password to take effect, so if your NetID password is not immediately accepted while following the below steps, it may be because your password is not yet synchronized with Google's servers. Wait a few more minutes and try again.

II. Setting up Google Apps

To use the Google Apps, download and sign into the Google Mail and Google Calendar apps from the App store:

• Sign into Google Gmail App 
• Sign into Google Calendar app
