How To Set Up the myEarthLink App
The process of setting up this app is relatively simple. Follow these steps to download, set up, and get the most out of your myEarthLink app.
1. Check Your Phone is Compatible
The myEarthLink app is available for Apple and Android devices. You’ll need an Apple phone or tablet with iOS 11 or higher. You should also check that you have enough space on your phone before downloading it.
2. Download the App
Once you’ve confirmed your device will run the myEarthLink app, download it for free. For those of you with limited data plans, make sure you’re on wifi.
3. Set Up
After you’ve downloaded the app, you’ll need to allow the app to access your location. Your location will allow the weather feature to provide you personalized forecasts. Next, you’ll need to sign in using your email and password. Click on the mail feature and input your information.
You can only check one email at a time. If you have multiple emails, consider having your secondary account automatically forward emails to your primary. Otherwise, you’ll need to log out to check your other accounts.
To make logging in easier, consider investing in a password manager. Then you can quickly change between accounts without typing in long, complicated passwords.
Once you’ve logged in to your email, you’re all set up and ready to use the app.
The beauty of this app is that it’s simple to navigate. You’ll find a toolbar with buttons for Mail, Weather, News, and Stocks at the bottom of your screen. Just tap, and you’ll instantly see your personalized news, local weather, or emails.
