Does Gmail app have signature?

You know how annoying it is when you send an email and the person on the other end doesn’t reply with “Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.  Love me some Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream." Instead they just type out their entire name at the bottom of the message box? Well, if you use Gmail for iOS, this annoyance may be coming to an end because of new updates to the mobile application. Now, using these updates, you will finally be able to create multiple signatures for different emails—and even attach photos as well. This should make it easier than ever before to customize what appears on your messages sent via Gmail.

If you are wondering why your signature isn’t working properly right now, let us help explain. First off, there is no guarantee that all versions of Gmail (Android/iOS) currently support the feature completely. However, we do know that both Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above and iOS 5.1 and below do work with this function. So, don’t worry about getting left behind if you aren’t running those latest operating systems yet. We also know that many people who still haven’t upgraded are having problems with their Gmail accounts being reset after upgrading to the newest version of Google+. If you were one of them, try updating your account first by going here. After you log into your old Gmail account again, go ahead and update your apps. Then, open up Gmail in your browser and check back out. You might find that your problem was caused by something else.

Now, onto our troubleshooting tips for fixing the issue where you cannot access your email signature on your phone.

Why is my Gmail signature not showing up on iPhone?

There could be several reasons why your Gmail signature does not show up on your iPhone. There are two main things you need to take care of: 1.) ensure your device has internet connection capabilities 2.) verify which settings in Gmail are enabled for sending mail through SMS. When you attempt to send an email from your phone, most carriers utilize SMS technology rather than traditional Internet-based methods. In order to enable this functionality, you must set your preferences within your Gmail Settings. Here is a quick breakdown of each step you would follow for enabling your email signature on your iPhone.

Go to Mail " Preferences " Signatures " Show Signature field. Make sure Enable Signature Box is checked under Send Via Email Options (if applicable). Also, select whether you want to receive SMS notifications when someone replies to your email or sends you a message. Next, scroll down until you reach Mobile Messaging Services. Select GSM Only Messages. Hit Save Changes.

Next, you need to configure your carrier to allow incoming texts so you can actually get your signature to appear in response to your emails. To do this, simply head over to your wireless provider’s website and sign into your account. Find Wireless Data Plans and click on Text Notifications. Check the boxes next to Allow New Emails From Unknown Senders and Receive Signature As Reply Message. Click Update Plan(s), then save changes.

Finally, restart your phone and try sending another test email. Hopefully, your phone will display your custom signature instead of a prewritten message. If this doesn’t happen, check Step 3 again to see if everything is configured correctly. If you continue to run into issues, consult your wireless provider regarding further steps you can take.

Note: It is important to remember that any additional features such as texting plans require separate fees.

Why is my signature not showing up in Gmail on iPhone?

The following article explains possible causes for this issue.

It looks like your signature is missing from Gmail entirely. That means you won’t be receiving confirmation emails when others respond to your emails either. The reason for this is due to a bug in Apple’s iMessage protocol that prevents users from seeing certain types of content. Unfortunately, this includes signatures. While this bug seems to affect everyone equally, Apple says it is looking into ways to fix the glitch. Until this happens, however, your only solution is to disable images in your email signature.

Another possibility is that you have disabled image rendering capabilities in Gmail itself. By default, Gmail strips away HTML code from your email signature to prevent spamming. But if you accidentally turned this setting off, you will lose the ability to include graphics. Luckily, you can easily turn this capability on by heading straight to this link. Once you are signed in, look for the gear icon located directly underneath your profile picture. Click on Manage Labels and toggle on Always Include Images. Finally, hit Save Changes. Your email signature will now contain embedded pictures.

Lastly, maybe your mobile number changed since you registered your Gmail account. Or perhaps you deleted your phone number altogether. Whichever situation you fall into, you can replace your current phone number with your own preferred cell phone service provider by clicking here. Once you are logged in, select Add Another Phone Number and choose the appropriate plan. Enter your new number and complete registration. Note that this process requires adding a second line to your existing cellphone bill. Depending upon your cellular company, you may or may not be charged extra for the second line.

Why can't I see my email signature?

This usually occurs when your Gmail Account uses Two-Step Verification but hasn’t been updated recently. What exactly is Two-Factor Authentication? Essentially, it adds complexity to login procedures by requiring more than one piece of verification data to gain entry to your account. For example, after entering your password, you would receive a random numerical code generated by an authenticator app installed on your smartphone. Additionally, you would be prompted to enter this code manually once every 30 seconds or whenever you want. When trying to change your password, you would then also be required to input the same 6-digit numerical passcode. Simply put, Two-Step Verification makes logging into your Gmail Account much harder than normal.

Does Gmail have a signature option?

Yes, although, unfortunately, you cannot edit the actual email signature itself. Rather, you can modify the way your signature shows up without changing its contents itself. This method allows you to format your signature and place it wherever you please, including replacing hardcoded links with ones pointing to your social media profiles.

Here is a handy guide explaining how to insert your signature into an email header in Microsoft Word. All you'll need is a copy of your email address and the recipient's email address. On your computer screen, write a clear description of your signature. Below this information, highlight the part containing your email address and drag it to the top row of cells. Right-click on your highlighted area and select Insert Shapes. A dropdown menu will pop up with shapes to choose from. Scroll down until you spot a rectangle shape labeled Header Text. Double-click on this object and begin typing your email address inside the rectangular box. Hold down the button on your keyboard and drag the object across the rest of the rows. Release your finger and watch it move along. Repeat this process for your desired placement of your signature. Lastly, double-click on your newly inserted signature block and select Edit Shape Properties. Use the options available to adjust font style, size, color, and alignment. With these tools, you can fully personalize your signature to suit your needs.

If you're using Gmail to send emails from your computer for business purposes, chances are good that you use the "Reply" function rather than compose new messages in an entirely separate window. This way, when people open your emails they can see what's inside without having to click through different tabs and windows.  And if you're doing this often enough, it will become second nature -- as easy as clicking reply all versus composing a message anew.

But with most email clients, including Outlook, Yahoo! Mail, Apple Mail, etc., there doesn't seem to be any option for adding a custom signature at the bottom of each outgoing mail message. You can always type one in manually before sending the email, but wouldn't it be nice to just do so after entering your details instead? That would save time and make writing more efficient.

Fortunately Google has included such functionality within Gmail itself since its early days. It's called Auto Signature, but it wasn't available to everyone until relatively recently. And even now, it only works on certain devices and platforms (more about which below). But first... does Gmail actually offer signatures? Does anyone else need them anymore? Let's take a look.

Does Gmail signature appear on mobile?

The short answer here is yes. If you've been using Gmail on Android or iOS over the past few years, then chances are high that you already know how to access auto-signatures via these apps. On both versions of the mobile apps, tap the down arrow next to the Send button, select Settings & Preferences, scroll down to Signing section, and enable Show sign off box. Now every time you want to write a customized goodbye note, simply hit the pen icon above the keyboard, and choose Add New Email Signature. Your signature should pop right into place. Easy peasy.

While we haven't tested it ourselves yet, other users report success by enabling the feature while logged into their accounts on desktop computers running Chrome browser. We'll update this post once we confirm this for sure. In addition, many claim that Safari 5 supports auto signatures too. So if you happen to be using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, give it a try. If you don't see anything when opening up your settings menu, try logging out and back in again.

What exactly happens behind the scenes during this process varies based on your device and operating system. Here's a quick rundown of some of the commonalities across various platforms/devices:

iPhones / iPod Touches - When enabled, the signature field shows up under the More tab. Once selected, a prompt appears asking whether you'd like to replace your existing signature with a new one. Hit Save to accept the changes. A few moments later, your phone restarts. Afterward, your iPhone asks you whether you'd like to continue editing the signature you chose. Click Yes, let me change it. Finally, you get another prompt asking whether you still wish to delete the original signature. Click No, I'm done.

Android Phones - The exact flow seems similar to iPhones mentioned above. However, because Android phones allow multiple profiles per user account, you may end up seeing two signatures. One might come from the primary profile, while the other comes from a secondary profile. To fix this issue, go to Menu & Manage Accounts & Profiles, and disable any unused profiles. Then log out, relaunch Gmail, and edit your signature accordingly. Note that deleting your existing signature won't help much here. Instead, create a new one underneath the old one.

Desktop Computers - As far as we could tell, things worked pretty similarly regardless of where these signs were coming from. For example, we tried creating a brand new signature in Firefox, and then selecting it as our default signature in Windows 7. Eventually, the newly created signature appeared alongside our current one. Still, it took a little bit longer to load than usual, but eventually everything went smoothly.

Now, although you probably knew already, you shouldn't rely solely upon Gmail auto signatures. They're great tools, especially considering you can set your own specific personal touch to each individual recipient. However, sometimes they really aren't flexible enough. Case in point: If you wanted to include something like your company logo along with your name, well, you couldn't do that unless you used a prewritten template. Not very convenient. Fortunately, you can customize these templates yourself. Check out the following article for more info regarding how to do this: How to Create Customized Templates Within Gmail [Broken URL Removed].

That said, auto signatures definitely have their benefits. For instance, if you travel frequently between places, it's easier to keep track of all those signatures than trying to remember them all. Also, many companies require employees to provide a standard format for their names and titles. With Gmail auto signatures, you have a handy tool for quickly filling in this data whenever necessary. Of course, they're also perfect for making subtle tweaks to your name or address depending on who you're addressing. Just think of how many times you've written "Dear Mr. Smith," when you meant "Dear Ms. Jones." Or maybe you've had someone mistype "Ms. Brown" as "Mr. White?" Well, no more thanks to Gmail auto signatures.

Does Gmail signature work on mobile?

This question isn't quite as straightforward as the previous one, mainly due to the fact that AutoSignature hasn't ever officially launched worldwide. Currently, according to Gmail support staff, it's currently only supported on certain regions/countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, UK, US. There's also mention of several others being added soon.

Gmail has become one of the most popular and widely used free web-based email services. It's also available for Android and iOS devices as well as other platforms such as Blackberry 10, Windows 8/8.1, Kindle Fire HD 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and more.  However, many users are still wondering whether there is any way they can attach a custom signature with their emails while using Gmail mobile apps (Android & iOS) instead of the website interface. This article will answer this question by providing step-by-step instructions.

Note that if you use Google Chrome browser, it does support signatures. However, since we're focusing on mobile applications here, we'll discuss how to set up a signature only within the official Gmail application itself.

The first thing you need to know is that adding a signature feature through Gmail Mobile requires two steps - setting up a new profile and then selecting "Signature" under Settings menu. Once done, all future messages sent from your device will display a box at the bottom right corner which allows you to insert your own customized signature. If you want to view your existing Gmail settings, go back to Settings page and select the Profile icon next to your name. You should see several options including Signature field.

In order to get started, follow these simple steps:

Open your Gmail mobile app. In case of Android version 2.2 and above, tap the Menu button located near the top left corner. Then choose Settings. On iOS, tap Safari option followed by Preferences... Select Mail. Now, scroll down until you find Signatures section and click Edit Profiles.

When you open a message window, you'll be able to type your intended signature into the box provided. After clicking Send, the recipient of your message will receive an auto reply acknowledging receipt of your email. He may even print out your mail without having opened it! As long as he doesn't delete it before doing so, your message will remain intact on his mailbox.

If however, the person who receives your message deletes it prior to printing it, you won't be able to track where it went. To avoid this situation, make sure to include an extra line called CANCEL INBOX when sending your message manually. Doing so would allow your mails to stay intact even after being deleted.

There are some exceptions to this rule though. For example, if someone sends you an email via Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL etc., chances are those messages don't contain signatures either. The reason why is because these providers send mails directly to recipients' inboxes without going through third party servers. Therefore, although people can access them easily, they cannot be modified in anyway unlike regular ones received from Gmail accounts. Also note that if you want to customize your signature for each particular provider, you'd better stick to Gmail.

So now let's say you've finally decided to forego signing off your email with "Dear Sir(ss),..." and try something else. Here's what you can do:

Go to Settings > Account Settings > Email Options. Under General tab, change Auto Reply Message to something along the lines of: Dear [Recipient Name], Thank you very much for contacting us. We appreciate your feedback and questions. Please feel free to visit our Website at www.[Company URL]. Sincerely yours."

Now, whenever you compose a new message, you can simply write anything you want inside the brackets. Your personalized signature will appear once the message gets delivered to the person's mailbox. When you open a message, you must press OK in order to proceed further. Otherwise, the default auto response generated by Gmail will kick in and direct the user to your company address.

For instance, if you work as a freelancer and wish to sign off every incoming email with your personal greeting, just replace "General" mentioned earlier with "Personal". By doing so, you could possibly save yourself time and effort spent writing down the same stuff over and over again.

As far as I'm concerned, this method works pretty good, but sometimes the "cancel" part of your autoreply fails to show up properly. That means no matter what you wrote inside the bracketed area, the final result looks exactly the same - plain old boring default greetings. Happily, there is a quick fix for this too. All you need to do is modify the original template file located at /sdcard0/Mail/AccountName/Resources/en_US/AutoReplyMessageTemplate.xml. Just search for words starting with "[", remove everything between them and paste whatever you intend to place inside the square brackets. Save changes and restart the program. Now, magic happens and autoreplies start working perfectly.

Another problem arises regarding formatting issues. Let's assume you live in Canada and your client resides in Australia. So naturally, you'd like to put the date format differently depending upon the country you're dealing with. Unfortunately, according to Gmail's current policy, it supports only US style dates. And unfortunately, there's no easy workaround around it. You can always switch countries during composing process, but that wouldn't really help you out.

What about users who prefer using Gmail desktop clients rather than its native versions? How do they manage to create signatures? Well, there's actually a solution for them too. Simply log into your Gmail account online and go to Tools & Accounts. Click Create New Application and fill in necessary details. Choose Custom Web App under Applications Settings. Finally, enter desired login credentials and hit Continue. A pop-up screen will ask you to verify ownership of domain. Make sure to check Use SSL encryption. Next, click Start Program.

After completion, you'll notice a small green padlock symbol appearing somewhere in upper right side of your browser window. Right below it, you should see a word saying Registered. This indicates that your newly created web application is ready to serve requests from anywhere in the world.

To summarize, it appears that creating a signature inside Gmail is possible on both Android and iOS versions. Unfortunately, you might have noticed that the process is slightly different and requires additional efforts in certain cases. Hopefully, this guide helps you understand things better and saves you lots of trouble in the end.
