How do you download attachments from Gmail on iPhone?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To download attachments from Gmail on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open the Gmail app on your iPhone. The app icon looks like a red and white envelope.

2. Find the email containing the attachment you want to download. You can scroll through your inbox or use the search bar at the top to find specific emails.

3. Once you’ve located the email, tap to open it. The email will open, displaying the message and any attachments.

4. To download the attachment, tap on the attachment itself. This will bring up a preview of the attachment.

5. Next, tap on the attachment again to bring up the Share sheet. The Share sheet is a menu of options for what you can do with the attachment.

6. At the bottom left corner of the Share sheet, you’ll see a square icon with an upward arrow. Tap on this icon to see more options.

7. From the options that appear, select “Save to Files”. This will open the Files app on your iPhone.

8. In the Files app, you can choose where you want to save the attachment. You can select an existing folder or create a new one by tapping on the “New Folder” option.

9. Once you’ve selected the destination folder, tap on the “Save” button at the top right corner of the screen. The attachment will be saved to the chosen location in your Files app.

That’s it! You have successfully downloaded the attachment from Gmail on your iPhone. You can now access the attachment anytime by opening the Files app and navigating to the folder where you saved it.

It’s worth noting that the process may vary slightly depending on the version of the Gmail app and the iOS version on your iPhone. However, the general steps outlined above should be applicable in most cases.
