Sync Outlook signatures across devices - phone screen and editing window - Oneflow

If you use Microsoft Outlook on your desktop and mobile devices, you might have noticed an annoying inconsistency – your email signature doesn’t automatically sync between them. This can lead to unprofessional or mismatched signatures when sending emails on the go.

The good news? There’s a simple way to ensure your Outlook mobile app signature is the same as your desktop version. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a consistent signature across all your devices so your emails maintain a polished and uniform look, no matter where you send them from.

Why is an email signature important?

Your email signature acts like a digital business card. It’s a great place to put your name, title, website link and contact information. This way, if you send a business email, the recipient will see your information and can easily save it. It’s a great way to stay organized with how you present yourself across your devices and keep your contact information available to prospects.

If you’re sending a signed document digitally, a digital signature can prove that you sent it and by whom. This allows your recipient to trust that the document came from you and that it hasn’t been altered since sending. A digital signature also lets you keep track of all the emails you send that require a legal signature. Once you’re signed into your account on an email platform, you can have it sign all of your emails by default.

FAQs

How do I make my mobile Outlook signature the same as my desktop?

To sync Outlook signatures across devices, follow these steps:

  1. Open Outlook on your desktop
  2. Clik Settings > Options > Email Signature in the Outlook menu
  3. Select the signature you want to use
  4. Save your newly created signature

How to sync Outlook signature to mobile?

Outlook doesn’t offer an automatic sync feature for signatures. The best way to keep your mobile signature the same as your desktop version is to copy your desktop signature and paste it into the signature field in the Outlook mobile app. Some advanced formatting, like images and HTML, may not carry over perfectly.

How do I make my Outlook signature the same on all devices?

To make your Outlook mobile signature the same as your desktop signature, copy the desktop signature. Here’s how:

  1. Open Outlook on your desktop and go to File>Options>Mail>Signatures.
  2. Select your signature and copy it (Ctrl+C or Cmd+ C).

Then, add the signature to your Outlook mobile version. Here’s how to do it on the Android app:

  1. Open the Outlook app on your Android device.
  2. Tap the gear icon in the bottom-left corner to access Settings.
  3. Scroll down to find the Signature section under the Mail settings.
  4. Paste your copied desktop signature into the Signature text box (tap and hold in the text field, then select Paste).

If you’re using the Outlook app on your iOS device, the steps to set your mobile app signature are the same as for Android.

Why does my email signature look different on my phone?

Your email signature may look different on your phone for several reasons:

  • Lack of automatic syncing: Outlook doesn’t automatically sync your signature between desktop and mobile. If you haven’t manually set the same signature on your phone, it will default to a simple “Sent from Outlook iOS/Android.”
  • Formatting differences: The Outlook mobile app supports only basic text formatting (bold, italics, underline) but does not support rich HTML, images or logos. If your desktop signature includes custom fonts, colors, tables or embedded images, it may not appear correctly on mobile.
  • Mobile email client limitations: Some mobile email apps strip out advanced HTML signature formatting, causing misalignment or missing elements. Signatures with tables, multi-column layouts or special styling may break or display incorrectly.
  • Differences in email rendering: Different devices and email clients render HTML emails differently. iOS Mail, Gmail and Outlook apps each interpret signatures slightly differently, which can lead to inconsistencies.
  • Dark mode capability: If your signature settings use dark-colored text or images with transparent backgrounds, it may become hard to read in dark mode.
