You can attach a picture to an email on an iPhone 14 without leaving the Mail app. You can also start in Photos and share an image to Mail, which is often faster when you already have the picture open.
Attach a photo while writing an email
- Open Mail and create a new message or reply to an existing one.
- Tap in the message body where you want to insert the picture.
- Tap the attachment or photo option in the editing controls. If the controls are hidden, tap the arrow above the keyboard to reveal more choices.
- Choose the photo you want to use from your photo library.
- Add more pictures if needed, finish the message, then tap Send.
For another method, open Photos, select one or more pictures, tap the Share button, and choose Mail. The selected pictures will be placed into a new email.
Large photos can make an email too big for some mail providers. Mail may offer image-size choices when you send a message containing large images. If Mail is not available in the Share sheet, make sure an email account is configured and that the Mail app is installed.
