Tips

  • "You can attach various types of files to your email, including photos, videos, documents, spreadsheets, and more. However, keep in mind that some email services may have limitations on the file size or type of files you can attach. For instance, Gmail allows attachments up to 25MB in size, while Outlook.com allows up to 20MB."

  • "To reduce the size of your photos and videos before attaching them to your email, you can use the built-in 'Compress' feature on your iPhone 6 Plus. Simply go to Settings > Photos, then turn on 'Optimize Storage' or 'Download and Keep Originals' to compress your files. Alternatively, you can use a third-party app like 'Image Size' or 'Video Compressor' to compress your files."

  • "To access the Files app on your device, swipe down from the middle of the home screen to open the search bar, then type 'Files' and tap on the app icon. From there, you can browse and manage files stored on your device, iCloud Drive, or other cloud storage services."

  • "If you encounter an error message saying that your attachment is too large, try reducing the file size or using a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive to share the file. If you're having trouble locating the 'Add Attachment' button, make sure you're in the body of the email and have the editing menu open. If you're still unable to find it, try restarting the Mail app or resetting your iPhone 6 Plus."

  • "To attach multiple files to your email, tap the 'Add Attachment' button and select the files you want to attach one by one. Alternatively, you can select multiple files at once by tapping and holding on one file until the options menu appears, then tapping on the other files you want to select. Once you've selected all desired files, tap 'Add' or 'Done' to attach them to your email."
