It's a default signature on most phones. I think mine do because I never bothered to change it.

I don't send emails from my phone, so no.

Right. I'm asking what's the purpose of keeping it?

It is easier to not change something than to change it.

I suppose it could be seen as an excuse for brevity, but mostly @previous (B)

I don't think you're supposed to keep the default message. I think it's just there to remind you that a signature is available so you can either turn it off or change it to "Becky's Legal Advice and Cat Sitting Service Inc." or whatever you want. A lot of people just don't bother changing it.

The default message is an advertisement for the phone, it seems to me.
This is what Hotmail did first.

No, because I only use a computer to send emails.

my old iphone said "sent from my iPhone" and i decided it was a stupidly intrusive ad they hid in your "signature" and killed it.
pretty sure my android didn't have that shit.

delete it, it makes you look like you're a gen Xer

@OP
Back in the day when having a smartphone was a big deal I think it was like a status symbol to have that little "Sent from my iPhone". Back then I thought it was a bit déclassé and showing off, also probably untold millions in free advertising for Apple. Now it's just stupid because everyone has a smartphone and no one is impressed with your ability to sign a 2 year contract for a phone.

Mine do not have any signature at all.
