Tools and Materials Needed

iPhone

Email account

Photos

Step 1 - Setting up the Phone

The first thing that you need to do is set up your iPhone for email
so that it's possible to send and receive email. This is necessary to
be able to send your photos by email which can then be shared with
computers and other mobile devices including other iPhones.

If it's the first time you're trying to set up mail then it's very
simple. Tap the mail icon on your iPhones main menu and then enter the
information as requested. Go through the entire process and then
perform the tests to check that your email account is properly set up
on your iPhone.

Next, you need to spend some time looking at the photos that you
want to share. Do this by flicking through the gallery to look at
photos that you are interested in. Mark all of the photos that you want
to send by email. If you don't already have any photos that you want to
send then now would be a good time to take some.

Step 3 - Choosing Photos

With all of the photos selected, click on the small arrow next to
one of the photos and select the Email Photos option. This will put all
of the photos as an attachment in the email message which is then
almost ready to be sent. Make sure that you select the correct photos
so that you can avoid any potential embarrassment.

Step 4 - Sending Email

Once you have attached the photos you will see a fairly standard
email window where you can enter a subject, address and message. Enter
all of the information you want and then click the button to send your
email. Your photos will be sent through your email account onto the
other device or computer very quickly.

There are of course plenty of other alternatives which can make
sharing photos with an iPhone much easier. There are applications which
can be downloaded to send the photos over a bluetooth or wi-fi
connection. This will make sharing photos with other iPhone users very
simple and much faster. Sending by email is easy but it's fairly slow;
you will need to wait for the photos to be uploaded and then the
recipient will also need to download the messages which takes time too.
