Email photo as attachment, not embedded, in iOS 14

I think you need to go via the official Apple Feedback channels as they don't necessarily follow this forum.

Try sending with your icloud mail.

it worked for me

but msn, Hotmail and gmail no longer will attach jpgs

They still attach as jpg when I send using my iCloud mail.

all others do not work . I suspect this was plan to force use iCloud 🥺

Best everyone can do is complain publicly through the many online computer and tech magazines

But the point is, there was never an issue until IOS 14. Then it changed without any changes to Outlook ( in my case). So it’s something Apple did. Not the multitude of mail clients out there.

One more thing. Sending a single picture will arrive as attachment. Sending two or more arrive embedded.

And here’s another twist. Sending from from iPhone using my (Bell Canada) account arrives as attachments. Sending from same iPhone using a hotmail account arrives embedded.

Once again, CJCragg, use the definitive test, found at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251807601?answerId=254806789022#254806789022, to see what is actually going on.

Nope.

Apple hasn't fixed it yet.

We need more people to send feedback to Apple asking it to reverse this God-awful decision.

Perhaps if enough people complain, it will respond.

No not on our iPhone 6s or 12Pro with 14.5.1 either.

Has such an inelegant feature been around for years and years and was recently removed? That was what happened?

Since the iOS 14 update I haven’t been able to send pics as an attachment. The pics now come up as a full screen view. I use pics a lot at work. It just makes things so much easier....the old saying it true. A picture is worth a thousand words. Now is I send a pic it’s enlarged and hard for someone to look at on a phone

I haven’t been to figure out how to work with this.

can anyone help with advice on converting a pic into an attachment

This is VERY annoying if you're trying to email yourself a picture. Now you have to copy the picture into paint, go find the folder you want to save it in, save it (after changing png to jpg every single time), go find that folder if you didn't already have it open, copy that and go back to your email and send it to where you actually wanted to send it. I wouldn't send a picture to anyone directly anymore because of the inconvenience that I would cause them. This is actually one of the most ridiculous updates EVER. This is the only thread I found talking about it unfortunately. Please change this back Apple. PPPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE

Has Apple got a solution to this or can they at least reply. It’s driving me mad and my colleagues at work we all have the same issue when upgraded to iOS 14. I usually email my pictures to my works email and it means I have to save them all instead of drag and dropping into files.

I also have the same issue. I need to be able to take good quality photos as attachments, save and send them on to a global motor manufacturer to assist motor vehicle warranty claims. It is now affecting our business by delaying the claims process. Please sort this Apple, immediately if not sooner. Thank you!!
