Supported Signature Methods: Draw, Type, or Upload

The signNow mobile app offers three convenient ways to create your signature, ensuring you can choose the method that feels most authentic and efficient for you:

• Draw: Use your finger or a stylus to hand-draw your signature directly on your device’s screen. This method is ideal for those who want their digital signature to closely resemble their handwritten one.
• Type: Enter your name or initials and select from a variety of handwriting-style fonts. This is a quick and professional option, especially if you want a consistent look across documents.
• Upload: Import an image of your signature from your device’s gallery or take a new photo. This is perfect if you already have a scanned or photographed version of your signature you’d like to use.

Each method is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, so you can create and save your signature in just a few taps. Once saved, your signature will be available for all future signing sessions unless you choose to update or remove it.

Managing Saved Signatures

Managing your saved signatures in the signNow mobile app is simple and gives you full control over your signing identity. You can view your default signature, add new ones, or remove signatures you no longer use. To access your saved signatures, navigate to the My Signatures section from your account or profile settings. Here, you’ll see your current default signature and options to add or manage additional signatures.
If you wish to update your signature, simply tap the Add New Signature button or the placeholder area. You can also set a different signature as your default or delete signatures you no longer need. This flexibility ensures that your signature always matches your current preferences and professional requirements.

Disabling Automatic Signature Saving

If you prefer not to have your signature saved automatically after signing a document, the signNow mobile app allows you to disable this feature. To do so, go to Settings and select Signing Sessions. Here, you’ll find the Use Saved Signatures toggle, which you can switch off to prevent the app from saving your signature automatically.


This setting gives you greater control over your privacy and how your signature is stored within the app. You can re-enable automatic saving at any time if your needs change.

Saving Signature Drafts on iOS and Android

Sometimes, you may need to pause while signing a document and return to it later. The signNow mobile app supports saving drafts of your signing session on both iOS and Android devices. This feature ensures you never lose your progress, even if you need to step away before completing a document. For iOS:

• During a signing session, tap the gear icon at the top left of the document and enable the Save Drafts option.
  
• After filling in some fields, tap the Done button at the top right, then choose Save in the pop-up window to save your progress as a draft.
  

For Android:

• Tap the tick icon at the top right of the document and select Save. Your current signing process will be saved as a draft.
  
  

You can return to your draft at any time by opening the document from your original email invite or directly within the app. This feature is especially useful for lengthy forms or when you need to gather additional information before completing your signature.
