Gmail on iPhone and iPad with Penvia

Updated 8 November 2026

Sign in with Google

In Penvia tap Connect your email, enter your Gmail address and choose Continue with Google. Google’s own sign-in page opens, so Penvia never sees your password, and Gmail connected this way gets instant new-mail alerts.

Add Gmail with an app password instead

Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google Account (myaccount.google.com › Security), if it isn’t on yet.
Open myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, type “Penvia” and tap Create.
Copy the 16-character password Google shows.
In Penvia tap Connect your email, enter your Gmail address and paste the password.

Google Workspace works when your organisation allows app passwords. You can revoke the password at any time; Penvia then stops syncing that account.

What changes — and what doesn’t

Your mail stays in Gmail: labels, read state, sent mail and archive stay in sync with Gmail on the web and your other apps.
Penvia shows each person as one chat, puts newsletters and receipts in Updates and collects attachments in Files.
Gmail connected with Google sign-in gets instant alerts (Settings › Notifications › Instant alerts). Connected with an app password, Gmail is checked in the background, when iOS allows.

Questions

Do I need a Gmail app password?

Not if you use Google sign-in. If you connect Gmail with an app password instead, you create the 16-character code once in your Google Account.

Will my Gmail labels and archive stay the same?

Yes. Penvia reads and writes through Gmail, so read state, labels, sent mail and archive stay in sync.

Can I use Gmail and Outlook together?

Yes. Penvia shows Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and IMAP accounts together, or one account at a time from the side menu.
