Google Play store needs no introduction. If you’re an Android user, most of the apps on your mobile are from the Play Store. But did you know that you can also add multiple devices to your Google Play account?
This can be useful if you own multiple Android devices or if you want to switch to a new device without losing your data and settings.
In this article, we’ll explore two ways by which you can add a device to Google Play. We’ll also explain how to manage and remove them from your account.
Method 1: Add a device or account using Settings
The first way to add a device is by heading to the Settings option on your Android device. Once you are done with the process, the account will be automatically linked to your Google Play account on your current device as well as sync your contact, photos, Gmail, and other Google services.
Here are the steps:
- Open the Settings app and then head to Passwords and accounts. In this sub-setting, you can see all the accounts that you use on your current device.
- Tap on Add account.
- Next, tap on Google to fill out your Google credentials (the ones you use for Google Play).
- Enter the email address and password. Also, you will have to agree to Google’s Terms of Service.
Once you are done, you will see the new account in the Passwords and account sub-setting. This also means that the process was a success and you can now use the new account to access multitudes of Google services.
Now, let us head to another method to do the same thing.
