I really like to have an automatic signature on my text messages. It prevents people from saying “Who is this?”. Add a signature to your text messages using these steps.
Option 1 – Stock Android Messages App
Some versions of the Messages app will have this setting. Unfortunately, it’s not available on many. In that case, you will need to use Option 2.
- Open the “Messages” app.
- Press the “Menu” located at the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Choose “Settings“.
- Tap “Add signature to messages” to enable text message signatures, then tap “Edit signature text“.
- Type your desired signature, then select “OK“.
Your signature will now be automatically added to each text message you send.
Option 2 – Handcent Next SMS
The Handcent app is a robust third-party text messaging app. Download and install the app, and you can add a text message signature with these steps.
- Tap “Inbox” in the upper-left corner and switch it to “More“.
- Select “Settings“.
- Select “All“.
- Scroll down and select “Send message settings“.
- Check “Enable signature“.
- Tap “Personal signature“.
- Set the signature that you would like to use at the end of your messages, then select “Confirm“.
Option 3 – Carrier Messaging App
Some carriers will include a messaging app of their own that may have a signature feature. For example, Verizon includes a “Message+” app with their phones that has a signature setting under “Menu” > “Settings” > “Enable Signature“, then tap “Auto Signature“.

I have no found an ‘add signature’ option for my S7. I took a picture of my signature and chose the picture as my backdrop. Now my name is at the bottom of all messages
CC Norrell says
When I click on my ”messages” it opens up all of my texts messages. There is no ”menu” at the upper right corner. Don’t know how to get to settings and there is no option to ”add signature to messages”or ”edit signature text” And no ”ok” option….

Hello, I have a Turbo 2 Android. When I install the Handcent Next SMS app there is no icon in my apps on my phone. Once I install it, where do I find the icon? Thanks
GeoJ-- says
Contrary to your instructions above, when I open the Text Messaging App, there is no “MENU” located in the upper right-hand corner. I have ATT and it says “More” in the upper right-hand corner, and none of the options include menu/settings/or signature!!
So Now what? :)
