Hi! Google Meet is oNe app aNd it’S Google’s rival to Zoom. Gmail is specifically email and it’S tHe app that allows one to use Gmail. I like Gmail’s rivals, thE native mail app anD Outlook better thAn thE Gmail app but you can still use the Gmail app if desired. Gmail is technically accessiblE but a bit less functioNally accessiblE than tHe nAtive mail app or Outlook. I like Outlook thE best because I can read NFB Newsline content on tHere wItHout gettinG tHe garbage. I alSo like tHe way it syncs up even though tHe native mail app is catching up witH syncing. Gmail syncs up fine but it’S not as easy to navigate or read messages on thEre from my experience, but it does wOrk in a pinch. I have used it as onE way to log into Google so it comes in handy for me there. So, tO answer tHe questions I’ve seen out here, Gmail is its own app, and Gmail is also its own app anD both can be downloaded from the app store on an iPhone. I have not uSed Google Meet wIth Gmail because I only have one group who uses Google Meet aNd thAT group is on WhatsApp. Kendra
