How to Remove Signature From Gmail on Any Device
Let’s walk through how to delete a signature in the web app, including just for email replies and if you use WiseStamp. We’ll then move onto how to remove a signature from Gmail on mobile devices.
Remove a Signature From Gmail on the Web
Even though you can set up multiple signatures in Gmail for different purposes, you may want to sign each message manually or send emails without these closings at all. Luckily, removing a signature from Gmail is easy.
Visit Gmail, sign in, and follow these steps:
- Select the Settings button (gear) on the top right.
- Pick See all settings in the sidebar.
- Go to the General tab.
- Move down to the Signature section and click Delete signature (trash can) next to the one you want to remove.
- Confirm with Delete in the pop-up window.
- Click Save Changes at the bottom.
To remove a signature from Gmail reply or forward emails only, do the following instead:
- Follow Steps 1 through 3 above to open the Signature settings.
- In the FOR NEW EMAILS USE drop-down menu, pick the closing you want to use.
- In the ON REPLY/FORWARD USE drop-down menu, pick No signature.
- Click Save Changes.

How to Remove an Email Signature From Gmail
Maybe you don’t want to completely remove your signature, but simply delete it from the current email. Whether a new message, forward, or a reply, here’s how to remove an email signature from the Gmail app on the web and your mobile device.
Gmail on the Web
You can delete the closing that automatically displays in an email either before or after you compose your message in Gmail on the web.
In the message window, select the Insert signature button (pen) in the bottom toolbar and pick No signature. Alternatively, you can manually delete the text.
Gmail Mobile App
While you won’t find a button to remove a signature in the Gmail mobile app, you can still delete it, and do so the same way on Android and iPhone.
In the message window, place your cursor at the end of the signature and tap the Backspace key on your keyboard until the text is removed. Alternatively, you can tap and drag to select the text and then delete it.
Wrap-Up
While email signatures give you convenient ways to make sure each message you send has a closing, you may prefer to simply type your name or initials or even send emails without signing them. If you’re not sure what’s acceptable, especially for replies, take a look at these helpful email etiquette rules for responding to messages.
