How to Send One or Multiple Photos from WhatsApp to Email

Method 3. How to Share Multiple Photos from WhatsApp to Email

On the assumption that you've got a few images to send through to someone via email, then sharing may take a while with the above method. At this time, you can try the method below.

2.1 For iPhone Users

For iPhone users, follow these steps:

• 1Save the images in WhatsApp to your iPhone camera roll.

• 2Go to your iPhone's photo library.
• 3Select the images you would like to share. Click the share button.

If you're an Android user, sharing multiple photos from WhatsApp to email is slightly different. Make sure you have the auto-download media option ticked in the WhatsApp settings so that images sent to you will go directly to your camera roll.

Once you've got the photo into your camera roll, follow these steps:
