Gmail makes it pretty easy to add or delete a signature within the app. To remove your mobile signature on Gmail:

- Select the account you want to change.
- Under the General heading, tap on Signature settings.
- Turn off the Mobile Signature switch if you want no mobile signature at all.
- To reword the signature, keep the switch on, and edit in the text box below it.
Edit or remove your Yahoo Mobile signature
Yahoo Mobile also doesn’t want to overly complicate adding or removing a signature for you. To reach the signature for removal or editing:
- Click the Gear icon from the menu on the left to open Settings.
- Tap Signature.
- From here, just edit Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone to whatever you want it to be.
- Turn the Customize for each account switch to off to disable the mobile signature.
- To edit the signature, leave the Customize switch on and tap on the text beneath the account name of whichever signature you want to edit.
