How to add an image to an email signature on iPhone or iPad

Unfortunately it would appear that as of iOS 9.3 this is no longer possible. The only way may be copying and pasting out of an existing signature you have in Mail or creating a new signature in an email signature generator.

On an iPhone or iPad you can paste in a basic image into your email signature. If you are looking for instructions on how to add a picture like a photo or a logo to your email signature then we have a step by step guide for you on how to accomplish that.
