If you want to design your perfect mobile email signature, you need to design it in HTML. Without using HTML, there is no way to include your logo, banner or social media links in Outlook for iOS. The easiest way to design a well-formatted and professional email signature is to use our free email signature generator:

  1. In the email signature generator, select Outlook as your email signature platform:

If you use the signature generator on your iPhone, your signature should be already copied to pasteboard at this point. If you find it more comfortable to use the generator on another device, use any email client to send your new email signature to the Outlook app on your iPhone. Simply paste the signature you’ve copied to your email message and send it to your Outlook email address.

Note: it’s safer to use web-based email clients for that, as they don’t tend to distort the signature layout.

Next, open this email in Outlook for iOS. Press and hold on a part of text that is not a link, then choose Select All and Copy from the context menu:
