    1. Hi Aashir Siddique,
      Thanks for coming.
      First, may I know your phone's model number and Android version?
      If you have activated several accounts in your Samsung Galaxy phone, make sure to scroll down the screen when you're in "Add accounts" menu to find a Google option.
      Alternatively, you can activate a Google account via Google apps, e.g: Gmail, Youtube, Play Store, etc. You just need to open the app, if you have not activated a Google account, you'll be asked to do so.
