Your iPhone’s mail app can easily add photos, videos, and other file types as attachments to your emails.
When you choose to attach a photo or video, Mail opens your iPhone’s default Photos app, allowing you to add your project. For other file types, the message opens iCloud Drive, where you can select and attach your file. You can also choose another cloud storage provider to attach your files.
Next, we’re going to show you how to add files from various sources to your messages with a few clicks on your iPhone.
