So, by having an Android phone, Google knows what kind of device you have because your Google account is tied to that device. And what Kenneth said about using Gmail on your phone, you are signed into your Google account on your phone. Apple is the same way. To do almost anything on the phone you need to have an Apple account. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
