You created a new Gmail account a while back, but you just haven’t had time to add it to a specific device. You may have thought that the process was going to take longer than you’d like and always procrastinated.
The process to add or remove a Gmail account on your iPad is just as easy as on an Android device. Sometimes a process is only easy once you’re familiar with the steps and not before. The following steps are beginner-friendly and will only take a moment to do.

Once you’ve added the password, the account will be added to the list automatically.

When for some reason, you want to remove a Gmail account from a device, know that you’ll be done in less than a minute. To get rid of that account, tap on the profile picture of the account you’re currently on and go to Manage accounts on this device (last option at the bottom)
In the next window, you’ll see all the accounts you currently have on that device. Swipe down and locate the account you want to remove. Tap on Remove from this account, and you’re done.
As soon as you tap on the Remove button, the account will be erased from the device.
How to Delete Your Gmail Account from Your iPad
Note: This was done on an iPad with iPadOS 14.1. Also, before erasing your Google account, make sure to download your data.
If you’ve had enough of trying to manage your Gmail accounts and want to erase your Google account from your iPad, open the Gmail app, and tap on the profile picture. Then go to Manage your Google Account, followed by the Data and personalization. Under the Download, delete, or make a plan for your data, choose the Delete service or your account option.
In the following window, tap on the Delete your Google Account option. You’ll be asked to sign in to your account. To the side of where it says Gmail, tap on the Delete option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Before erasing your account, keep in mind that no one can use your Gmail address in the future. Your Gmail emails and settings will be gone. By erasing your Gmail account, you’ll still have your activity since only the Gmail service will be erased.
