How to add a signature on Gmail?

With Gmail, it is possible to automatically insert a signature each time you send an email. A signature is configurable and can contain multiple information such as name, title, address, phone number, or other important details.

Users can also configure different signatures for Gmail on computer and Gmail on mobile devices. This difference makes it possible, for example, to warn the recipients of mail that you are using a mobile device and that it is thus possible that you are away from the office, which means that you will not have the possibility of respond quickly.
