Email photo as attachment, not embedded, in iOS 14

This is also an issue for me.

Makes extra work now plus it makes it harder for the recipient to work with the files.

Apple - please do not take away functionality like this.

Here is a link to provide feedback to Apple.

The issues lies with the mail app on the receiving end. Why do you keep bringing up outlook and <its derivatives> remove outlook from the equation entirely. Apple mail and Apple mail only is the issue here. Apple mail is deciding to interpret the data in a different way than before and present it to the user differently, this is the issue.

It reminds me of the customer service people sometimes you get who don't bother taking the time to properly understand the issue, and simply copy and paste chunks of text out of their training manual over and over and over again…

Nobody here works for Apple Customer Service.

Nobody.

This is primarily a volunteer run community.

Nobody here is empowered to speak for Apple.

OK, but it doesn't change anything.

My point is still valid as far as describing my interaction with a certain individual and what it reminds me of.

It changes everything. If you don't like his advice, ignore him. I am confident his feelings will not be hurt.

He is not Apple Support. He is not representing Apple. Nor am I.

If you have been paying attention, posts attacking him have been routinely removed.

Yet his contributions remain.

What conclusion can you draw from this?

Let it go...

How come people don’t get that we want to take a photo or photos, select them and send them, and have them arrive as savable attachments. Just like we used to do before IOS 14. That’s it, that’s all.

How come people don't get that nobody here can do anything about this situation? We are not Apple.

That's it. That's all.

Thanks I appreciate it. I’ve been following this thread for months now, the only reason I even post anymore is bc it’s extremely frustrating to see people’s comments being dismissed like they aren’t actually experiencing an issue. I gave it one last shot and really tried to break it down but it’s looking like anyone’s attempts are pointless when it comes to the guy.

I don't believe your concerns are being dismissed. Disputed maybe.

If your "point"is to change his mind, let it go. Why does anyone have to win?

As has been repeated, Apple does not participate here in the way most want them to.

They don't answer questions and they don't share what, if anything may be done about issues raised here.

Never have and likely never will.

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://www.apple.com/feedback/ is the advocated way to tell Apple how you feel.

If you have used the link, you've done all you can.

Arguing your point of view is futile.

Agree. Like voting. Make a complaint and move on. I do the procurement of our office phones and with multiple users complaining we’ll go with different phones next upgrade and avoid iPhone. Extra time makes it inconvenient.

understand when features are introduced that improve but don’t understand this one from apple.

The app changes the pic to jpeg and then it can be sent as a attachment. I do get it I was just saying how I do it. I can see why a lot of the questions don’t get answered a smart a** reply is not necessary.

Halliday, this is your best post yet, IMHO. The one thing that could take it to the next level would be to suggest going to Microsoft’s (company B) forum to provide feedback, since it’s their problem. I believe I found a thread on this issue on Microsoft’s forum.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/outlook-attachments-are-not-being-forwarded-from/230b65a5-6a9c-4fa0-978f-af3b249f0bae

I was hoping that people «could take it to the next level» for themselves. So, I’m glad you picked up on it, yourself.

(That Microsoft issue does seem to be related, but not truly the same issue, of course.)

Incidentally, just as using this forum to get Feedback to Apple is ill advised, I would expect the same to be true of the Microsoft fora.

Hence, just as it is far superior to provide Apple direct Feedback, through their designated Feedback mechanisms, I would expect providing Microsoft direct Feedback through their designated Feedback mechanisms would, likewise, be superior.

Is there actually a reply in any of these posts or are they all just questions that are never answered? Would like to know how to send a photo without it being embedded..... as does everyone else on this post it seems.

Hey Halliday, with all due respect, are you a gaslighting bot installed by apple? A simple yes or no answer will do. Please don't mention "a very tiny subset" of anything in your response.

Anyone else just tuning him out at this point?

Thank you everyone for answering and for these helpful solutions. I'm just figuring out how this forum works. I think writing to Apple is a good idea, but do they care? Sometimes I feel like we're just part of their ongoing experiments.... That said, in the larger scale of life these days, this is a small problem.

Welcome, areyouseriouslymakingmedothis, to Apple Support Communities!

I speak and write only the truth, to the very best of my ability.

I have no connection with Apple, other than being a user, like yourself and others, here.

I understand not wanting to believe what has been found to be the case (by others, and myself, over a month or two of research, starting back in September). It took even the best of us about a month or so to figure out the realities behind the circumstantial evidence, and the complaints of the users, here.

So. It is understandable that those that have not worked through all the evidence (including our various investigations) would have difficulty believing the results.

That’s the reason I have provided the definitive test people can use to find out what’s actually going on, for themselves.
