Mail is only available in the Share menu, if you enable the Mail.app as the default Mail reader in the Mail Preferences. Launch Mail, then go to Mail > Preferences > general and select "Default Mail Reader: Mail".

After restating Photos you should now be seeing Mail as an option in the Share menu, But only, if you have not selected too many photos at once. Some Share options will be removed from the Share menu, if too many photos have been selected.

Hello, I am trying to send photos from my iphone 7, When I click on next, share , mail, and send are not listed as options. In fact I cannot find the word mail anywhere under settings, I have set up AOL as my mail server and can send photos from my iPads. Can anyone offer me a suggestion as to how I can recover my sending option. Thanks in advance
