The iPhone does not yet support multimedia messaging, also known as MMS, so you cannot send picture messages like you can with camera phones on other wireless carriers. However, using the iPhone's Mail application, you can send pictures from your phone's library as email attachments. That means you can snap a photo of your family on vacation and email it to your friends back home, all from the iPhone. They'll be able to open and download the image just like a normal JPEG file.

Step 1

Open the "Photos" or "Camera Roll" application on your iPhone.

Step 2

Find the picture you want to send and then tap on the thumbnail to view it in full-screen size.

Step 3

Tap anywhere on the iPhone screen once to bring up the photo toolbar.

Step 4

Tap on the "Send Photo" button, which can be found on the far left end of the photo toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

Step 5

Select the "Email Photo" option from the pop-up menu that appears. The iPhone will automatically switch to the Mail application and compose a new message, using the photo as an attachment.

Step 6

Choose who you want to send the picture to and enter one or more email addresses in the "To" field.

Step 7

Fill in the "Subject" field to give the picture a title.

Step 8

Tap on the "Send" button to send the email and attachment.
