Choosing the Account Setup Method

Now, you have two possible routes to add your Google account. You can either select "Google" directly and tap "Sign In" (sign in), or you can opt for "Manage Accounts" (manage accounts), followed by "Add Account" (add account), and then choose "Google." Both options are valid, but the second approach requires a couple more taps. The images below illustrate these options, making it easier for you to follow along.
