How do I make email an option?

When trying to “share” photos, email does not appear as an option. Airdrop, text, WhatsApp, etc appear but email does not. How do I make this an option? I’m simply trying to move some photos from my phone to my computer and this is the easiest method I know.

thanks for the response. I think I figured this out. I was trying to send 9 photos from my photo gallery (on my iPhone) to my computer via email. After posting this message, I attempted to do it with a single photo selected, and wouldn’t you know, email DID show up as an option. I’m guessing that the size of the message played a role in which methods the phone would allow me to select.

Let's try something (You may have already tried this)-

Select the photos that you would like to email. Then you will see your choices about what you can use to share those pictures. Scroll all the way to the right till you see MORE (three dots). Tap on MORE. Do you see mail in the list? If YES then tap on EDIT and set the apps that you want to appear to ON.
