To access apps, send emails, or use certain features - like syncing data - on your phone or tablet, you need to sign into an account. Or, if you want to download that brand new app from the Play Store, you will need a Google account. Luckily, you can add these accounts and more to your Galaxy device.

Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and model.

The best way to get the most from your Galaxy phone or tablet is to add a Samsung account, so you can experience all of the exclusive features.

To add a Samsung account, navigate to Settings, and then Samsung account at the top. Then enter your Samsung account info to sign in. If you don't already have an account, don't worry. Just tap Create account to make one, or create one on the Samsung Account website.
