Consider this: Gmail has existed for 21 years. Over the years, there has been a notable difference between the mobile and web versions of the email service. However, that disparity may no longer be an issue.
Signatures have long been a feature available on Gmail’s web version. Unfortunately, these signatures, which allow users to include important personal information with each email, did not transfer to the Gmail app for Android. Instead, separate signatures were necessary on that platform.
As Android Police co-founder Artem Russakovskii has discovered, web signatures now carry over. As such, you
can control Gmail’s signature settings from Settings > See all settings > General > Signature on the web.
If you have configured your signature to appear in new emails and replies, Gmail will automatically include it on both the web and mobile versions.
There are a few limitations, however. First, while Gmail allows you to store multiple email signatures, you cannot switch between them in the mobile app.
If you set a different signature using the Gmail app on Android, that signature will be used instead of the one you set on the web. Currently, there is no option to stop Gmail from adding a signature to emails sent from mobile devices. The only way to avoid this is to remove your web signature.
Additionally, when you draft an email in the Gmail app on Android, the signature will automatically appear at the bottom of the message. If you prefer, you can manually delete it before sending the email.
Currently, this signature change appears to only work on Gmail for Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25. It does not impact the Gmail version for iOS.

A must-try Android app has finally arrived on the iPhone
A few days ago, Google Gemini appeared in the Apple App Store for a user in the Philippines, who was even able to download it. We took it as a sign that the new AI assistant would soon make its way to the App Store in the U.S. Well, we were right, as you can now download Gemini as a standalone app on your iPhone, after previously only being able to access it through a browser.
The Gemini app is free to download and has a surprising number of features available. More powerful functions are available for a $20-per-month subscription, but you can try Gemini Advanced out for one month for free. It grants priority access to new features and gives a “1 million token” context window.

Google’s Pixel phones may finally catch up with the iPhone
“The Tensor inside Pixels is essentially a mirror of Samsung’s Exynos silicon, and so are the problems.” That’s a rough summation of Pixel user sentiments over the past few years.
If you’re a Pixel smartphone user and have encountered problems such as overheating and poor battery, as well as subpar performance when compared against the Qualcomm processors built atop the TSMC stack, you get the gist. Things might change next year, though, for good.
