What happens if I delete Gmail app on iPhone?

Answered by Edward Huber

When you delete or uninstall the Gmail app on your iPhone, it does not delete your emails or messages. This is because the emails are not stored locally on your device but are instead associated with your Gmail account, which is stored on Google’s servers. So, removing the app only removes the application itself from your device and does not affect the actual email data.

When you reinstall the Gmail app or access your Gmail account through another device or web browser, you will still be able to see all your emails and messages. This is because the data is synced with your account and not tied to the app on your iPhone.

It is important to note that deleting the Gmail app does not permanently delete your emails. If you want to delete emails permanently, you need to take specific actions within the Gmail app or web interface to delete them from your account.

Furthermore, removing the app does not disable your Gmail account. Your account remains active, and you can still access your emails using other email clients or through the web interface.

Deleting the Gmail app on your iPhone may have some consequences, though. For example, you won’t receive push notifications for new emails, and you won’t be able to access your emails quickly through the app. However, you can still set up your Gmail account on the built-in Mail app on your iPhone or use other email apps to access your emails.

Deleting or uninstalling the Gmail app on your iPhone does not delete your emails. The emails are associated with your Gmail account, which is stored on Google’s servers. Removing the app only removes the application from your device, but your email data remains intact and accessible through other means such as other email clients or the web interface.
