Email photo as attachment, not embedded, in iOS 14

Having the same issue here! I take multiple photos out of office which are sent back to my work computer to forward onto customers. Now instead of simply dragging & dropping the photos, I have to save each individual photo! Don't fix what isn't broken, how does this help anyone?

Help !! This is ridiculous ! I've just had all my employees install iOS 14 and now we can't e-mail jpeg pictures from our phones to our work e-mail addresses ! This is BAD ! Apple, why would you do this ??? Photos embedded in an e-mail DOES NOT WORK !!

Please issue a fix asap. I have employees that depend on e-mailing pictures they take with their phones as ATTACHMENTS.

We own close to 50 iPhones for employees. We are a voice that should be listened to !! This upgrade is NOT an upgrade - huge step backwards. Please fix / reverse !

I also have the same issue. I likewise use my phone at work to take a bunch of photos and send to my work PC. I was able to send photos as an attachment instead of embedded through my Gmail account. The only problem was that the attachments were full size and a really big file. They need to fix this.

Text 2,

This work around works until Apple resolves this.

My assistant found a work around. Record a 1 second video. Go into your photos and select all your photos and the video send as you used to prior to IOS 14 and they will all go to the email as an attachment. Make it a really short video or it makes the file rather large.

Please tell me there is a fix to this, or I'll have to move to Samsung or I can not longer use an IPhone for me or my employees with our constant forwarding of Photos (Which NEED TO BE IN AN ATTACHED FILE FORMAT".....

I found a workaround that is working well for me. Instead of sending them to your email through the email app, send them to your email address with the Messages app. It sends them as attached .jpg right to your email.

Thanks for your quick clue.

I followed your hints and attached the short video together with 2 photos in the email and send to my PC Outlook email client. I found that it really works BUT only the short video and 1 photo were received as attachment. I did it multiple times and the result is the same. Everyday, I use the phone taking many photos for work and email to my PC and then quickly forward them to other people for sharing. With this iOS 14 update, I am crazy depressed why Apple will change its original good work !!!!!

This happened to me as well. when sending form my photos to my email so i could attach them, now they are embedded, which is much more difficult and not as useful.

how do i now send them as attachments?

The solutions posted by users (not Apple mind you) are not options that work in a practical manner when you need to send multiple pictures. I shouldn't need to make a video to send an attachment NOR should I need to send to myself , right click, save and send as an attachment. Who thought embedding images was a good idea? Stop trying to do something "inventive" with a basic email function that thousands if not millions of people use. It worked PERFECT until I decided to update my phone, who would have thought of all functions that would get jacked up this would be it......sending an attachment in an email. Fix your software Apple, you have created a complete joke.

Completely agree. Why Apple hasn't sorted this issue is bizarre and completely unacceptable for the millions of users, especially after issuing an update in the last few days.. Also, having just upgraded to iOS14.1 a day ago, the e-mail app now opens on a blank page saying "no message selected". So this needs fixing too. Oh dear.

Same problem - I want to email myself my pictures so I can save them on a thumb drive. I'm guessing it was an intentional change by Apple & they will not "fix" it.

It is probably a way for Apple to get us to buy their cloud product - which I never could figure out - for managing photos.

I'm ready for a phone upgrade - I think I will do away with Apple - I never could figure out how to save the photos off of my phone. I tried connecting it to my laptop but I could not download the photos. I tried going through their cloud product, but the images did not seem to be the original pictures, but some grainy downgrade of the original photo. The only work around for this problem was to email myself each picture one at a time which in and of itself was a royal pain. NOW THIS! I now have no way of saving my pictures from my phone. I'm DONE!

Prior to downloading IOS 14, I could send an image from my Iphone 8 to a email recipient, via Outlook, as an attachment, and now the images will only be embedded. This is a major issue for my work and I wonder how I can resolve back to sending images as attachments

in that case, how can you easily move them into an email in outlook on my Windows computer? as many others have said in this thrread, before the upgrade, all i had to do was mail them to myself and they'd show up as a pdf i could easily drag into a message. now they are shown as images and not easy to move or resend.

Thanks. Have now looked and tried it. How very clever. Would never have thought of it. A bit convoluted though but at least it works!! The method of accompanying the images with a short video which you then delete is also a solution, but really very silly!! Much better if Apple sorted it rather than all these brainy people working out other fixes!
