The first thing you need to do is open the Gmail app on your Android mobile device and click on the three little lines on the left side of the screen. Then in the list scroll down until you find the “Settings” button and tap on it.
Next, you will see the email account or accounts that you have also linked on the phone. Choose the one you want to synchronize. Now scroll down to “Data usage” and check the “Sync Gmail” box.
In case you need to synchronize from an iOS device you can only choose the days you want to synchronize mail. To choose these days log in to Gmail and click on the icon with the three dashes. Then click on settings and in “sync settings” choose how many days you want to synchronize the email service.
Why am I pausing Gmail sync?
If you have already learned how to unpause Gmail and enable sync, but you want to know the reasons for what happens you may be wondering why I get Gmail sync paused. Here are some of the reasons why this happens.
One of the most common causes of paused sync is the loss of internet connection on the mobile device. Whether because the wifi network is down or for some reason you do not have data on the phone if the connection is cut the synchronization will also pause.
Another cause may be the lack of storage on mobile devices. Before performing any action when you see that the synchronization is paused, check the phone settings to see how much memory you have available.
It may also happen that the synchronization is paused because you do not have the latest version of Gmail updated on your phone. To check if you need to update Gmail go to the Play Store and press and hold the icon for a few seconds. Then choose “My Apps” and see if Gmail is pending an update in the list.
