iPhone Mail signature with an image (unofficial workaround)

Updated 7 Nov 2026 · Checked against Apple Support · By Hilsio team

Short answer

On iPhone, open Settings › Mail › Signature. Apple documents text-only signatures. Some users paste rich text from Notes after building a signature on Mac or web; this is unofficial and may break after iOS updates.

FAQ

Can I add an image to my iPhone email signature?+

Apple does not offer an official image signature on iPhone. Some users paste rich text from Notes; results vary and are not guaranteed. Gmail and Outlook apps are more reliable for logos.

Why does my iPhone Mail signature image disappear?+

Mail's signature field is text-first. Pasted formatting and images may be dropped on send or after an iOS update. Prefer a client that supports HTML signatures if the logo must stay.

Should I use iPhone Mail or the Gmail app?+

If you need a logo and formatting, Gmail on the web plus the Gmail app (with mobile signature empty) is usually more reliable than iPhone Mail alone.
