Practical Tech Tip: How to change your mobile email signature

You have work to get done, but you’re also running from one errand to another today. So, you do the sensible thing: you reply to emails from your phone.

When you finally get back to a desktop computer, you discover those emails you sent have that pesky “Sent from my iPhone” message at the bottom and it looks unprofessional. Tap or click here to see what today’s email etiquette looks like.

It’s better to have a clean email signature, one that denotes your name, position and the ways to reach you, rather than a simple auto-generated message. Tap or click here to learn how to unsend unprofessional or bad emails in Gmail.

It’s time to change your signature, but you’re not sure how. Thankfully, it’s a pretty simple process and we’re here to help. Let’s start with changing that message from “Sent from my phone” to something you can proudly display.

Change your Gmail mobile signature

Gmail makes it pretty easy to add or delete a signature within the app. To remove your mobile signature on Gmail:

  1. Tap the left menu icon (three lines stacked on top of each other next to the search bar) and tap on Settings.
  2. Select the account you want to change.
  3. Under the General heading, tap on Signature settings.
  4. Turn off the Mobile Signature switch if you want no mobile signature at all.
  5. To reword the signature, keep the switch on, and edit in the text box below it.

Edit or remove your Yahoo Mobile signature

Yahoo Mobile also doesn’t want to overly complicate adding or removing a signature for you. To reach the signature for removal or editing:

  1. Click the Gear icon from the menu on the left to open Settings.
  2. Tap Signature.
  3. From here, just edit Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone to whatever you want it to be.
  4. Turn the Customize for each account switch to off to disable the mobile signature.
  5. To edit the signature, leave the Customize switch on and tap on the text beneath the account name of whichever signature you want to edit.

Alter your on-the-go Outlook signature

Do you hand over the tablet when your kid throws a fit? A new study says you’re not just rewarding bad behavior — you’re actually making it worse.

📱 Need a tough phone or tablet? Samsung just announced the rugged Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro. They’re water- and dust-resistant and can survive drops from up to 1.5 meters (that’s 5 feet for people like me who never understood the metric system). As for performance, both run the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with 6GB RAM. Oh, and the batteries are removable. Pricing is still TBA.
