- The Gmail app on Android can now use your signature on desktop.
- If you don’t have a separate signature setup on mobile, the app will use your web signature for replies and new messages.
- It appears the feature is slowly rolling out.
Creating an email signature is a great way to save yourself some time. It’s a convenience that makes it so you don’t have to manually add your name and contact information on every message. What’s not so convenient, however, is having to create signatures in both the web and mobile versions of Gmail. It looks like Google noticed this issue and has fixed it with a new feature.
In an earlier APK teardown of the Gmail app, Android Authority contributor AssembleDebug found a string of code saying “If you don’t set a mobile signature, Gmail will use your web signature instead.” It appears this feature is now starting to roll out and has been spotted by Artem Russakovskii of Android Police.
