Started last night - gmail account works to my Mac as usual but won’t work on my iphone 7 anymore? I have deleted the account and re added but no dice. I even tried to add the account to my iPad and it still didn’t work, which makes me think it’s a gmail / google issue and not iPhone issue?

Gotta give details bud. "Not working" doesn't help much

Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed
That is the error

None of my personal accounts work on my iPhone while on WiFi at work. It’s just me. Started after i did the last update. Tried resetting carrier settings, network settings, etc. no dice.

Delete the app, sign in/out, restart the phone in no particular order.

When you say it works on your Mac, do you mean in the browser? Because that's comparing apples to oranges.

Update - I was having issues getting gmail added to my imail client (not a browser issue). It was always working under the imail client until yesterday.

I had deleted and re-added several times to no avail. This morn I backed up my iphone to mac and then I called google (no help - they said if I could reach the mail thru a browser then it wasn't google issue).

So I called Apple and had her walk me through the Add Account again (even though I had done it the exact same way several times yesterday). When we added it, the gmail magically started working again under imail client on my phone.

So, I don't know if backing the phone up made a difference or not but that's the only thing different that occurred since I tried to re-add the gmail account yesterday. Go figure.

TL;DR - it just works

Hasn't Apple released three or four updates in the last 60 days? That tells you all you need to know about any problems you may be having
