How to Set Up a Signature for Mobile Use in Gmail

By , About.com Guide

Is a quick and rugged reply from the road and rodeo better than a considered answer later from home or hotel?

You decide. If you opt for the terse and more immediate mobile tapping, you don't have to compose wordy excuses (for concision and overlooking inspiring auto-corrections) every time; you can set up a special signature (in addition to your normal Gmail signature) for Gmail's mobile web app instead.

Set Up a Signature for Mobile Use in Gmail

To add a special signature for the Gmail mobile web app:

  • Go to the label list in Gmail mobile.
    • If you are viewing a label — your inbox, for instance —, tap the list icon or Menu.
  • Select the gear button at the top right.
  • Make sure Use mobile instead of desktop signature is checked.
  • Enter your mobile signature in the text field.
  • Tap Apply.
