iPhone Tip: How to Attach Multiple Photos to Email?

by on May 3, 2011 in iPhone Tips

Recently, a friend of mine asked if there was a way to attach multiple photos to an email right from the Camera Roll.

You can not only email multiple photos  from your camera roll you can also send them by MMS if you have a supporting data plan.

When you are in the Camera Roll, tap on the Share icon (arrow) in the top right corner.

Now, you are in a mode where you can select multiple pictures for one of these actions – share, copy or delete. Just start tapping on pictures and you will see the count in the bottom panel. There is however a 5 picture limit to attach to an email.

If you already have an email in draft that you want to attach these photos to, you can also alternatively use the copy menu to copy the photos and multitask over to your mail app and paste the pictures there.

Of course, the copy paste option needs your device to be on iOS 4+. Hope you enjoyed this little tip and don’t forget to check out our iPhone Tips section chock full of useful tips like this one.

      Jessica, do you which iPhone OS version are you on? I believe this is a feature introduced in 3.0. You can find your version in Settings -> About -> Version. Mine says 3.0 (7A341). Let me know if this helped.

      I cannot copy photos to my email (gmail). When I copy the photo, the only thing copied and sent is “IMG…”. How do you copy the actual image into the email? Thanks.

      Kevin,

      I have done this multiple times and it works like a charm. In fact I did it this evening. Just curious, what iPhone OS version are you on? (You can find it by going to Settings -> General -> About -> Version)

      attach in email and send to another addressee.

      mark and press the email key at the bottom of the screen.
      it brings up the one photo and @ the top allows me the addressee
      I want to send this to.
      Then I press send.
      The adressee never receives the email or the picture sent with the email.
      I have done this over and over and to different email addresses
      and it never works….PLEASE HELP.

      thank you! works perfectly

    • Paola

      I have OS 3.1.3 but when I select more than one photo (and less than 5), the “share” button is not highlighted. I am only able to select “copy” an “delete”. (BTW, I have the 3GS iPhone 16GB)

      You should check out ‘Photo Transfer App’. It lets you transfer up to 50 pictures at one time from iPhone to iPad over wifi. The photos are transferred at full resolution (when you send them through email you loose the quality of the pic).

      Check it out: http://www.phototransferapp.com

      Cheers.

      Great. It works.

      You need to use the actual “Photos”. Not the camera roll that’s in your “Camera”. It’s kind of stupid if you ask me… but I guess there’s a reason to actually use the photos thing. Lol.
