iPad Can’t connect to Gmail from Mail app

[Sir1Pocket]

I am trying to use the Mail app to setup and connect to my Gmail account, but Safari says too many levels of indirection. Don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Why is Safari even involved because my default browser is Chrome? Any help appreciated.

The only time your browser is involved with gmail is if you're accessing gmail via the web.

What iPad model…and what version of iOS or iPadOS?

I am doing this setup from the Mail app, not from Gmail. Using 8th gen iPad with iPadOS 14.7.1.

I just found my problem. I had not enabled Gmail for the Mail app. I thought that it would be a simple answer and it was.

Hi,
can you pls briefly explain how you did this/where to find/where did you click?
I'm having the same problem for several months already, although on my Macbook pro, running BigSur...it's really annoying!
