Apple has included several helpful iPhone features, such as the Journal app and podcast transcripts. Unbeknownst to you, Apple introduced Markup with iOS 9 in 2015. This tool allows you to sign documents, such as PDFs and screenshots, directly from your iPhone without the need for paper.
“With Markup, you can edit screenshots and photos, select different opacity and font thickness, and even add a signature to a PDF document,” Apple stated on its website. You may save money on printer ink, which can cost up to $60 per cartridge, by signing documents without having to print them out.
Here’s how to use your iPhone to sign specific papers.
Sign a document with ease using your iPhone’s Add Sticker, Add Text, Add Signature, and Add Shape menu.
If you wished, I suppose you could even affix a sticker on your company document.
Save the document to Files first if it’s in an email that you wish to sign. From there, follow these steps to sign it.
1. Launch the files.
2. Press the paper you wish to sign.
3. Tap the symbol that resembles a circled pen tip at the bottom of your screen.
4. Select “Add Signature.”
5. Use your finger to sign your name on this new screen, then select Done
The website will display your signature, which you may position anywhere you choose. If your signature is too big or little for the signing space, you may also resize it. After resizing and moving your signature, save the document by tapping Done in the upper-right corner.
Additionally, your signature will be stored on your iPhone for future usage. You may either hit Add or Remove Signature to create a new signature, or you can complete the preceding steps and touch Add Signature, then choose your old signature.
Above the Add or Remove Signature option, there is a signature.
That is a signature, even though it isn’t very attractive.
