Hello Group,
Could someone help me out? LOL, I recently got my wife an iPhone 6s and so today I got myself the iPhone 7 so I need help already. When I set her phone up last week I had used my gmail accnt. so today when I tried setting up my email on my iPhone 7, I tried using my gmail setting and my iPhone said that it Apple already has that one in use

So I tried to make up another accnt with my email while using a new password and it wouldnt let me so how do I fix this, Thanks, James

What I’m reading is... when you were setting up iCloud for your wife, you used your email address?

If that’s the case, then this isn’t a gmail issue.

You’ll need to set up your wife’s iCloud account with something other than your email address. I can’t help too much more right now, but hopefully this helps get the ball rolling.
