Realme: Add a New Account to Your Phone

Realme UI manages every signed-in account, from Google to work email, in one central list. When an app cannot sync mail, contacts or calendar entries, the account often was never added at system level, or it was added with the wrong protocol.

To add an account, go to Settings ➔ Users & accounts ➔ Add account. Then pick the matching type, for example Google, Exchange, Personal (IMAP), Personal (POP3), Facebook, WhatsApp or Duo, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Why the account type matters

Exchange accounts sync mail, contacts and calendar together and usually need a server address from your workplace. IMAP keeps mail synced across devices, while POP3 downloads messages to one device only and can cause missing emails elsewhere.

If only a single app misbehaves and other accounts sync fine, check that app's own login screen first instead of removing the whole system account. Removing a system-level account deletes its locally cached data, including offline mail and contacts, so back up anything important beforehand.
