An email signature is text that appears automatically at the bottom of every email you send. Instead of typing your name and phone number at the end of every message, you set it up once and it is added for you every time.

A typical email signature includes: - Your full name - Your phone number - Your email address - Optionally: your job title, the name of your business, your website, or a brief tagline

Signatures are especially useful when emailing people who do not have your contact information, like a doctor's office, a contractor, or a new acquaintance. It removes the need to ever type "Best regards, Jane — 555-123-4567" manually.

You can set up a signature in almost every email app. This guide covers three of the most common: Gmail (both in a web browser and the Gmail app), the iPhone's built-in Mail app, and the Microsoft Outlook app.

Keep signatures concise. A signature with your name, phone number, and one or two other details is professional and quick for recipients to read. Very long signatures with lots of formatting can look cluttered on mobile devices.

Setting up a signature takes about two minutes, and once saved you never have to think about it again.
