Configure Gmail for Android without losing sight of its text-only mobile-signature limitation.

Before 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Open the account settings

    In the Gmail app, open the menu, scroll to Settings, then select the Google Account you want to change.

  3. 03

    Open Mobile signature

    Select Mobile signature, enter the text version and confirm. This signature applies only to messages sent from the Gmail app.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
