What piss me off the most with Gmail and google things like meet, is that if you are on Android, there is no way to login in a single app: Gmail, meet or even a third party email app without associating your Google account to the whole phone.
This is really annoying. Sometimes I have to join corporate meeting from my personal email account on my personal phone, because if I would like to login with my pro one, all my personal phone will be associated and controllable by the company.
- joshuamorton 5y agoFWIW android supports Work profiles for exactly this purpose (though your company may not allow them). So for example I have my work and personal accounts on my phone, and my employer (Google in this case) can manage my work profile, up to and including erasing data on it, but can't do anything to my personal accounts.
- greatgib 5y agoStill, you will have to associate all your phone with this account to use a single app. Like search and all. That would not make sense if android was not tied to Google.
- russelg 5y agoYou can generate an app password then use gmail through IMAP using that password. (google it ;)
- greatgib 5y agoNope, this is the theory but in Android you will not be allowed to use anything else because even with IMAP you will need to go through oauth some times. Also, Google is regularly messing with the IMAP support. Like blocking their own server IPs as suspicious...
