Email attachments

Today my attachments arrow disappeared from iPadOS emails. No iOS update, it just is gone. Now I must ‘long tap’. Why? Rebooting, as well as using this moment to update iPadOS to 15.2.1 didn’t bring it back.

iPad, iPadOS 15

no attachment icon on ipad email This week i noticed that I no longer have an attachment icon at the bottom of my email. I have to go to the document and export it. Very frustrating. Any idea about getting those attachment icons back? For docs, pics, etc? It is simply blank at the bottom of my emails now.

IPad Pro stock Mail app shortcomings I use stock Mail on my iPhone 14 quite happily so started to use it on my new iPad Pro only to find it a frustrating experience and rather different. As per the attached screenshots, with iPhone on the bottom, the iPhone allows me to Close/Collapse an e-mail by tapping the sideways chevron (<) on the top left of the screen which seems to be standard on other iPad mail apps such as Gmail and Outlook. This < does not exist on the iPad stock Mail. All I can do is press the top left square icon to open the email header listing, leaving the email still in the background, instead of it disappearing, until it is covered by another selection from the header list. Maybe I've missed something in Settings but, if not, I shall have to revert back to another, more standard mail app. Any comments/suggestions will be appreciated. TIA 00

Hi sheinessam,

We'd like to help you find the best resolution path for sending attachments via iPadOS. You mention an arrow, but looking over Add attachments to an email on iPad, once following the steps on where you want to add the attachment, in the top of the keyboard you will see the icon that is referenced in the article. We hope this helps.
