How to add attachments to Mail for iPhone and iPad
Is there a way to take a new photo? I only see a means of inserting one you've already taken.
Sent from the iMore App
Go to photo app and take a picture. Then tap on the small picture on bottom left of screen. Tap on square box with arrow pointing out the top of it. You will see your picture and select it by tapping blank circle. This will put a check in circle.
Below on same page tap Mail icon. Fill out To: and Subject:
You can scroll down tap screen below pic and leave a message.
Scroll back to top and press send.
This will bring you to page where you can pick size of picture you want to send.
Tap on one and it will automatically send itself.
This sounds complicated but it really isn,t.
Practice a couple by sending some pictures to yourself and you will see what I mean.
