There may be various situations where you need to electronically sign your documents directly on your iPhone. Regardless of your current activities, it’s not always guaranteed that you will have access to an iPhone or iPad.
So, what do you do if you can’t sign your important documents in such circumstances? Surprisingly, the iOS 16 software provides a solution by enabling you to electronically sign documents received via email or other sources.
This article will delve into the process of electronically signing iOS 16 documents that you receive through email or similar channels.

Ideally, the steps involved in the process are quite simple. There’s not much you have to do, provided that you follow the steps mentioned below:
- Start by opening your Mail app and the preview the particular mail that you have to e-sign
- Once that’s done, you have to tap on the toolbox icon
- Under the markup preview, click on the Signature button that pops up
- From there, you will have to sign the document by drawing the initials on the display
- Once done, adjust the signature’s appearance and size and drag it to where it should be placed on the document.
