Gmail not working on iPhone? Here are the fixes you've been looking for

Is it a bit frustrating if your email does not load on your iOS device, i.e., iPad or iPhone, even after entering the correct login credentials? Or perhaps your Gmail has suddenly stopped working. We have come with the set of fixes you have been looking for. This write-up will also cover the details of why Gmail stopped working on iPad or iPhone. Well, security and lack of explanation are two key reasons behind the concerned issue. Whether an individual or an enterprise owns it, security has been a top concern. Nobody wants their personal information stolen. While the iOS user is travelling, security reasons sometimes stop his/her emails from reaching their destination. Google noticed the attempted connection from an unknown area and blocked the sign-in facility. Lack of explanation is the other thing that leaves iPhone users in the dark. Their emails suddenly stop loading while reaching the destination.

Reset CAPTCHA

A common workaround is to reset the CAPTCHA settings. It is actually a fix that typically flies under the radar and temporarily unlocks a portion of the security features on Google and causes Gmail not working issue. Hence, it allows new devices to connect successfully. Here is how you can try this.

• Open Google’s CAPTCHA reset page
• Use your username and password to log in
• Then log into your Gmail account on your iPhone
• After this successful sign-in, Google will now remember your device
• So, it won’t get blocked next time

Reload Gmail Account

Have you done with the CAPTCHA reset? If yes, log in to Gmail.com and check whether the device activity and notifications are configured to block your device. Please unblock it. Plus, check IMAP is enabled. Then remove your Gmail account completely from your iPhone and then load it back on. As Gmail servers store all user emails, removing the account from a device will not delete anything from the actual server.

Check whether IMAP is disabled

You won’t load Gmail if the IMAP (It manages the email sent from your device) is disabled in the settings. If so, you need to enable it.

Check your device activity

• On your iPhone, 'Go to the mobile Gmail site' link
• Then go to the bottom of the Settings menu and click on the "View Gmail in Desktop' link
• Click your Gmail account profile picture and click the Google Account
• Then you are supposed to click Device activity & security events
• Scroll downwards and go to the Recently used devices sub menu
• Click on REVIEW DEVICES

After doing this, you are requested to click on your iPhone. It will help you to get the details of your most recent login. Click on it if you find an Enable button. Then you are open to making the Gmail account login by the use of the Mail app on your iPhone. Talk to the tech support officials recruited by Apple to counter the Gmail not working on iPhone issues if the above-mentioned have not settled the issue.
