Gmail on Android

Post by Ted Myers »

Hello, using the same Gmail account, I get different results on my phones.
I opened the app and selected Settings and got this:-

-
oppo.jpg
oppo phone version 10.
-
Samsung.jpg
Samsung phone version 14.
-
Do you have an explanation that may help me?

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

"Active" and "Add a status" are related to the Chat feature. They are only shown if you have enabled Chat. To change this:
Scroll to the bottom of the menu.
Tap on Settings (the gear wheel icon).
Tap on your email address.
Scroll down to the General section.
Tap the Chat check box to toggle it on or off.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks Hans, I have never used Chat or Meet on my computer.
