    I found a way to make it work on my S8+ with formatted text. I did not try to include images:

    1. Set up your HTML signature on Outlook on your PC
    2. Send a blank message to yourself including only your signature as you want it to appear.
    3. Open the email you received on your PC.
    4. Right-click on the email text and click 'view source'

    ***Notepad should have opened and displays <html... to </html>***

    1. Select all and copy. 
    2. Paste into a new email
    3. Open the email on your phone.
    4. Copy everything (<html... to </html>)
    5. Navigate your Android device to settings -> signature and then paste in everything.

    Voila! Do NOT go back and alter the signature after the fact. It will only show you the text and all the formatting will be gone until you paste in the HTML once again!

    PS: I just tried to add photos to mine but it did not work. I think this is because the images were not hosted on the web. I think adding photos would work fine as long as they are hosted on the web somewhere. I think the HTML you would use is something like what I pasted below from this instructional link

    <img src="http://your.image.url/folder/filename.jpg">

    Hope this helps,

    I did the html tag for images and I know for a fact it's hosted on the web because i am using my own web hosting server.. the images still do not show up.. it's 2020 and we cant find a way to add images and proper HTML to email signature via our mobile devices... what a shame

    Hi,

    If you're using a Samsung device just use the stock email app, you can easily format your signature and add any picture to it.

    I used it before but decided to go with Outlook because it's simply better. The only downside is not allowing the user to format his/her signature.

    Good luck

    Hi, 

    The workaround is on the secongf the page. I'll post a copy:

    Hi all,

    Since many of you asked, I will share this workaround. On the first place, please keep in mind that the reason I haven't share this is inconsistency.

    In some mobile browsers, you have Request desktop site option. Please try to find the option for your browser or research which  browser support the option and install it. After that, go tohttps://outlook.office.com/owaand activate the option Request desktop site. Now, you have desktop version of Outlook on Web. To add a signature, click on Settings gear in upper left corner and select Mail. On your left sidebar, in Layout section, you can find Mail signature. Try to add your HTML signature here and test it from Outlook on Web application.

    Due to issues with some mobile phone browsers, this solution is inconsistent. In my tests, sometimes I couldn’t access the desktop site. This wasn’t related just with Outlook web App. With lot of other web sites, mobile view has priority in mobile browser. I can support just for Office application, so I could give you general suggestion to try to open the web app from a private (incognito) window, or to clear cache from your web browser (please check how to perform the action if you decide to try it) if the browser keeps with opening Outlook on Web for mobile phones.

    Best regards,

    Nemanja

    So this is only workaround I am aware of.

    Thanks for your understanding,

    Nemanja

    Hi MWKP,

    I would like to help you encourage Microsoft to add the option, but the only way to influence on the software design plans is trough User Voice. 

    I have sent you Private message with a suggestion. Please open it by clicking on thelink or on Private message from your profile page
