Can I open iPhone photos on an Android tablet? It appears that photos taken on Apple iPads or iPhones and then emailed to me cannot be received on my Nexus Tablet but they come through fine on my Windows 8 laptop. The message appears on the tablet but not the photos. Is this because of differences between Apple and Android? Is it surmountable or do I have to live with it? John Broadbent, best regards There is nothing special or unusual about photographs emailed from iPhones and iPads. They are standard jpegs and viewable on almost any device but the way some email programs handle attachments does vary and in some cases makes them unnecessarily difficult to open and view. One very simple way of avoiding this type of problem is to switch to another email program. My personal favourite for Android is a free app called K9 Mail and it downloads and displays photos in your preferred image viewer with just a couple of taps.
