Emailing photo attachments from my iPhone 11

Thank you!! This is working just fine. A few more key strokes, but totally worth it. The frustrating part is; I didn't want to do the update because I heard that this would happen. They just took over my phone this past weekend and did it anyways. Too bad the Apple people aren't smart enough to figure this stuff out themselves!!!

Microsoft Outlook is your answer to you issues and frankly Outlook has always worked better than the Apple Mail app and continually improving. I too experienced the same issue and in the past iOS versions, Exchange email accounts would still attach photos, but not with IMAP and POP type accounts. Since iOS14 release all email accounts will not attach the photos but rather inserts photos into the email body.

I agree it is not a change to 14 as my phone started doing this a couple of years ago. I use the Apple email app with an Exchange and a Gmail address. At first it was just the Exchange email. Now it is both. This makes it take many more steps when trying to send photos that need to be saved in specific folders. Attachments are so much better for work photos.

I got mine to work

Gmail

Photo

all photos.

It was on Selected photos

The update seemed to change what I had set my iPhone on.

also the phone ring was removed to no ring. Changed that, turned off and on and it stayed.

You will also find you cannot forward an email (in Mail) with an attachment, it won't do it. It'll forward the email text but not the attachment.

If I built a garage for someone and said there its and you walk in but you can't park your car in it, I'd be sued.....

Apple obviously think they can get away with such behaviour.

If your reading this and want to delete it, be3cause you don't like it, Apple genius, why don't you fix the problem?

A guy at my work found a work-around since this is so critical to our business.

With Apple’s recent update to their iOS software to version 14, they have removed the ability to attach image/pictures files as attachments. Instead, they have forced the images and pictures to be embedded into the body of the email. Regardless of which app you are initiating the attachment process from, all images/pictures will be embedded.

But there is a workaround. As long as you also attach a non-image/picture file along with the pictures on the email, then all the files will be attached and not embedded. The additional file can be any other type (PDF, video, etc.).

I suggest using a PDF that says "Thanks Apple for messing this up!"

Good luck!

Hi, I’m now using outlook, if i could delete Apple mail I would. Outlook allows you to send jpgs as attachments as long as you start from the jpg, if you start from a new email it will embed them.

Knowing Apples modus operandi there will be some paying service (probably involving the cloud) coming up which will miraculously mean you can attach jpgs and screenshots as before.

You may also have noticed if you forward emails from mail which had attachments, they will not forward the attachments, in some cases it is not possible to forward the email at all.

I’m accelerating my move to Microsoft and android as this behaviour is disgusting. Apple hardware is for the toy market, they are not capable of being reliable business tools. I hope many more will follow suit.

Dear Apple,

All of your business customers rely heavily on being able to forward/share pictures as jpegs into an emails. We use this feature heavily for attaching business receipts into emails and then attaching them to other pc based applications. When the pictures are embedded into the email, they are no longer useable for anything else. I wouldn’t snooze too long on this fix if I were you.

It takes too long to attach using outlook app. I have found that emailing the normal way, then open up email from office365

outlook.office.com

Works for me. I open up the email on a laptop, and even though the image is embedded, you can right click on the image and save to your laptop pictures as a jpeg file.

Yes but you have to give it anew file name an its meta data is lost, How are you going to correlate or even find that image at a later date with the one on your iphone?

The way round its super long and what if you just use an iphone or ipad from site to send to clients who don't want the images embedded.

How do you prove a picture was sent if the file name has changed or there is no filename and no meta data?

I see ISO14.2 is out; After this disaster i actually read the data sheet on the bug fixs etc. No mention of this issue at all. Can anyone else confirm that this issue with the Apple product and jpegs is them forcing users into a situation where we MUST pay for some other service they are developing?? Another revenue stream for them.

I think it works fine if you receive said email with embedded jpg on an apple computer: pro, air or such like, whereupon you can save it in the original format with its original file name.

Does that answer your question?

The solution is to go and buy an apple computer......

WEB2002, I am new to these forums & am not that tech savy. I dont follow you. I am thinking extreme sarcasm in play?

you were going off about this before as are thousands of us who use a lot of pics in our work emails etc. For me this is a very serious problem. All these work arounds are just adding extra time to a task that was so simple & functional before. As i am new to theses forums, is it normal for Apple to just ignore its customers like this?
