Gmail has introduced a new feature for Android users, which automatically utilizes your web signature if you haven’t created a specific mobile one. While the rollout for Android is still ongoing, users on iOS have already benefited from this enhancement. The complete implementation across all platforms, including Workspace and personal Google accounts, is anticipated to be achieved by the end of April 2025. Although it might seem like a minor adjustment, your email signature plays a significant role in presenting a professional image.
A well-crafted signature helps avoid repetitive typing and can enhance the overall polish of your emails. Setting up a comprehensive signature is generally easier using the desktop version of Gmail compared to mobile. However, for users who have not established a mobile-specific signature, Gmail will now automatically leverage the web signature for new emails and replies. This update was first noted by Artem Russakovskii, co-founder of Android Police, and confirmed by Google in a blog post.
Should you prefer a unique mobile signature, you have the option to create one. This can be as simple as a “Sincerely” or just your name. You can easily set this up by navigating to Settings > [Your Email Address] > Mobile signature on Android, or you can find it in Settings > Signature settings on iOS. As for the wider feature rollout, Android users should expect to see this update in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, iOS users have already accessed it, as documented by Google’s official communications. Alongside this signature update, Google is also working on improving the Workspace apps for the Gemini platform, which is currently in open beta for both Android and iOS. This development aims to enable more seamless integration of applications like Gmail, Docs, Calendar, and Drive, enhancing productivity for users with enterprise or Workspace accounts.
