Download email attachments in Mail on iPhone

You can download attachments that are sent to you in email messages or easily search for messages with attachments in your mailboxes.

Download an attachment sent to you

  1. Go to the Mail app on your iPhone.

  2. In a message, touch and hold the attachment, then do one of the following:

Quickly fill out forms you receive in Mail

You can use AutoFill to quickly fill out forms you receive in the Mail app, and then send the form back to the original sender without leaving Mail.

  1. Go to the Mail app on your iPhone.

  2. In the message, tap the attachment to open the document.

  3. Tap the AutoFill button near the bottom of the screen, then tap Form Filling.

  4. Tap a blank field to enter text using the onscreen keyboard. To fill out another line, tap it, then enter text.

  5. Tap the Done button, then tap Reply to [name].

Find emails with attachments

If you’re having trouble finding an attachment someone sent you, you can filter your email messages to show only those with attachments.

  1. Go to the Mail app on your iPhone.

  2. In a mailbox, tap the Toggle Filtering button to turn on filtering.

  3. Tap “Filtered by,” then turn on Only Mail with Attachments.

Tip: You can also show emails messages with attachments from all accounts in one mailbox. To set up the attachment mailbox, tap the Mailboxes button at the top left, tap Edit, then select Attachments. The attachments mailbox appears in the mailboxes list with your other mailboxes.
