How to Remove Your Signature in Gmail

If you often write emails for work or an organization, it can be tedious to always sign those emails with your name, phone number, and perhaps other identifying information of means of contact.

The signature option that is available in most email applications can automate this step for you, freeing you from the tediousness that comes from typing the same thing repeatedly.

But you may have created that signature a while ago, and the information included on the signature may no longer be valid. Or the way that you use your Gmail account might have changed, meaning that the signature that you have is no longer necessary at all.

Fortunately, it is possible to remove your signature from Gmail by following our tutorial below.

If an email conversation has changed topics or is difficult to identify, then our guide on how to change the subject line in Gmail can help you out.
