Email photo as attachment, not embedded, in iOS 14

By the way, andy-in-DC, the “Content-Disposition” component is entirely optional: both in whether it is included, as well as in whether any client even pays any attention to it.

It is purely a “formatting” level (how such is displayed) component, and is not intended to have any affect upon any other functionality.

Of course, if any client has any problems with any standards compliant message, such is strictly the problem of that client.

Yes, RTWODEETWO.

That procedure will create web-like links to the files.

However, will the email client on the receiving end provide the user with the ability to perform bulk operations (such as bulk-saves) of those links, or will the user have to save each linked to file separately?

yes, I am crazy with those people at Apple who continually change the things which are working well!!! Do not understand the way they work, really! Think to move to Android as this feature is essential to me .....

Hi,

I am not comparing FASTMAIL and Apple Mail here, only the simplicity of the Apps: with Fastmail, when writing a mail, you can directly attach a picture from your Photo Library and that's done! The guy who will receive this email will receive a .jpg File, that's it.

On the other Side, with Apple Mail, it's not possible!! When writing a mail (from your iPhone), you do not have a button giving you the possibility to attach files or photos or whatever you want .... just a fact! So, even if it exist a possibility (available for Nerds), one should accept at least the fact that it is not user friendly at best!

Moreover, when I read that turnaround solutions consist in saving a photo and then, taking it as an attachement (How?) to send it?? Is that a solution? Are you serious? And if I need to send for example 5 or 6 photos, do i need to repeat this process?

Apple used to offer those straight foreward and simple actions in the past, but it is simply not more the case. Apple was the mostinnovative, by far, but this time is already since long time over as numerous other companies equal or surpass this company now ..... That's a bit of a pity to my opinion regarding the past success of Apple ....

Unable to open jpeg on my iPhone iOS 15.1 using aol app. I can open them on my pc browser and iPhone mail . iPhone mail has other issues so I’d rather not use it. I’ve tried to remove and reinstall aol app and hard reboot of iPhone . That worked before but no longer does the trick.

Yes, Kajin911.

This doesn’t actually change the fact that photos are sent as attachments—as they always are—but does make a change in the optional “features” of said attachments.

The change in these optional features may have unduly significant affects upon non-standards compliant email clients (i.e. Microsoft Outlook and its derivatives).

Maybe and if and when you get a better solution I'm all ears but this works for now and is easy to do. I'm not real happy that I cannot send a photo as an email attachment simply by selecting it on my $1500 phone but after being on a call for hours with Apple support it is clear to me an actual fix isn't coming anytime soon. So choices are use the work around or buy an android (they work like they should) I choose to keep my iPhone because it's what I'm comfortable with. Sort of like driving a Chevy for 20 years I'm not changing to a ford, I know where all my gadgets and gizmos are on the Chevy -even in the dark.

Apple please fix this!

At Steve Jobs Time, Apple was an Innovation Company, focused on its Customers.

The actual CEO transformed Apple into a Bank, and a bank is wether known for innovation, nor for paying attention to its customers….……

… and the result is tons of messages like yours! Apple will not move, never!

Exactly. I am very frustrated. Because when I get these photos on my work computer in Outlook they force me to print the email instead of the photo. I have to right click on the photo, copy and paste in a word document to print or save as a jpeg to the pictures folder. Ridiculous! Trying to run a business and have always loved my iphone, but they are losing their competence and relevance to the everyday person and different situations. Even Siri has become dumber. I miss Steve Jobs!

See, first, my response to hilyshaf’s comment.

Since the problem is with third party email clients with demonstrably questionable standards compliance, it is not up to Apple to attempt to make up for the failings of such.

I am a professional Windows and Android user.

At leisure I only use Apple devices.

Honestly, I'm getting more and more frustrated with the limitations of iOS and MacOS. There's no reason for Apple to DELIBERATELY REMOVE a feature, just to hamper the user experience!

After reading the 63 pages of this forum, I'm getting tired of Apple!
