How to Set Up an Email Signature on Android
An email signature is a block of text that is automatically added to the end of your outgoing emails. It can include your name, job title, company name, phone number, website address, or any other information you want recipients to see.
Setting up an email signature on Android helps create a more professional appearance and saves time by eliminating the need to manually type your contact details in every message.

Step 2: Open Email Settings
Tap the Menu icon, usually located in the top-left corner of the screen.
