Can I send a photo from my iPad 8th Gen. to my sister-in-law’s smart phone? I don’t have a smart phone and she doesn’t have an iPad. We lost my brother a year ago and I haven’t seen them since before pandemic, and couldn’t attend funeral. I’m 78 and she’s 83 so not too IT savvy. Hope someone can tell me how. Many thanks.
iPad 2, iOS 9
I’m so sorry for your loss.
You can go into the photos app and select your photo. Then in the options/controls above that photo you will see a little box with an arrow coming out of it, tap on that and then choose your mail app (if you are using the built in apple app you’ll see ‘mail’ as an option. Choose that and it should bring up your email. Type in your sister in law’s email address and send it
you may also be able to choose messages and possibly text her the photo.

Thanks for your reply. She doesn’t have email, I only have her mobile number which she got a couple of months ago and when she notified everyone she said to send her our photos. Would another solution be to use FaceTime, assuming she’s got that on her phone.
I don’t think you can do file transfers in facetime.
if she can download and install skype you can transfer files with that.
or One Drive can also be used to send files.
if she has a smart phone she does have an email. You need some sort of account to get a phone started. She may not use it but it should exist.
you could also share the photo via icloud and she could save it from there if you text her the link. Open the photo and tap on the share icon (the box with the arrow coming out of it), then scroll down and you should see ‘copy icloud link’. Then paste that into your texting app and text it to her. She should just need to tap on that link to open the photo then can save it
Thank you soooo much. It’s a lot to take in for a learner so I will firstly contact her for email address. She will probably have to contact the son who set it up, but we can then try from that starting point. May take me a little while to get there, but will let you know how I progress. Thanks again,
You’re welcome. Best of luck.
how do i send photo from my ipad 8th to a smart phone
