Move pictures from iphone text to my desktop computer email

A friend texted me a bunch of pictures from his iphone to my iphone. How do I copy or forward these pictures he texted to my iphone to my email ?

You can copy a picture and paste it into an email, but I don't think that you can copy multiple pictures at a time--it'd be copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste, etc.


Or, in Messages you can click the little download icon next to each picture, and they will go into Photos. There, you could go to "Recently Saved" and select them all, and then choose Share to the Mail app. For lots of pictures, this seems easier. I just tried it and, since I really don't want those pictures in Photos, I'm going to delete them-- and cancel the email to nobody that I just started.


Does this work for you?
