This tutorial will show you how to remove the “Sent from my iPad” signature that Mail automatically adds to each of the email messages you send from your iPad.

One of the first things you might notice while using Mail on your iPad is that it automatically adds the signature line “Sent from my iPad”. If you’d rather set that to your own email signature – or have none at all – follow the instructions outlined below.

    Great tip. This should be attached unto every Ipad box when they sell it.

    I think there should be a ban on using default signatures on email devices to do blatant marketing. This is really a low move by attention hungry companies.

    Who cares how the email was sent? What matters is the content of the email.

    Well i think there is a point in knowing if the mail was sent from a mobile device – explaining short answears and maybe misspellings.

    Normal Apple Mail on my Mac doesn’t do this so why should I want it on my iPhone or iPad? I constantly have to delete the line. There should be a way to turn this on and off too.

    So glad my PC does not signature my mails. There is only 1 reason why this signature is added on iphones and ipads, do not be fooled that its there to explain your flaws, its a commercial add.
