Configure account sync options

You can configure synchronization options for any of your apps. You can also configure what kinds of data you synchronize for each account. Some apps, such as Gmail and Calendar, have separate synchronization settings that provide more fine-grained control. In such cases, the settings you select at the account level are still valid.

For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information on your device are made to the copy of that information on the web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only one-way sync: the information on your mobile device is read-only.

To view the Accounts & sync settings screen described here:

1From a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Settings icon .

2Under Personal, touch Accounts & sync.

Some apps also have their own settings related to syncing. For example, to control message syncing in the Gmail app, touch Menu icon > Label settings > Sync messages.
