How to Add an Attachment to Email on iPad

Add an Attachment Send files, Images and Videos with Email

While the Mail app in iOS 7 doesn’t have a dedicated attachment button, you can still attach documents, files and media to emails and send them, as you would expect from any email service in this day and age.

One way is to go into an app such as Photos and select the Share function. Tap Mail and the image or file will be attached to a blank new email; you can then add a recipient email address and some body text to your message before you send it. Most iOS apps will offer a Share function that works with the Mail app in this way.

Another way to add an attachment to an email is to leave the Mail app, go to another such as Photos, hold down on a file and select Copy. Then go back and paste it into your email and proceed as usual.
