How to add an email signature on Android
Configure Gmail for Android without losing sight of its text-only mobile-signature limitation.
Mobile signature field supports text onlyBefore you begin
Gmail for Android provides a separate text-only Mobile signature. For the rich version, configure Gmail on the web and leave the mobile override empty where your account supports that behaviour.
- 01
Choose rich or mobile text
For a rich signature, first install SendSignatures in Gmail on a computer. For a device-specific signature, prepare a concise plain-text version.
- 02
Open the account settings
In the Gmail app, open the menu, scroll to Settings, then select the Google Account you want to change.
- 03
Open Mobile signature
Select Mobile signature, enter the text version and confirm. This signature applies only to messages sent from the Gmail app.
- 04
Avoid overriding the rich default unnecessarily
If you want Gmail to use the signature configured on your computer, leave the mobile signature unset where supported.
- 05
Test from the app
Send a new message from the Android app and confirm which signature appears. Account policies and app versions can affect the result.
