Find out how to add a photo from a webpage directly into the Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac if you’re a new user and want to start learning the essentials right away.

When you compose a new email or reply to one, you’ll notice a paper clip attachment button that lets you add an image or file from the Photos app or iOS Files/macOS Finder file managers. Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to fetch an image from a web link or open a webpage and get a photo directly from the Internet.

Therefore, to attach a photo to your email from the Internet, you will have to either drag and drop the image or copy it to the device clipboard and paste it into the email body. These are simple things, but if you have just got your first iPhone, iPad, or Mac, here are step-by-step instructions.

Important: Both methods may not attach the image at full quality, but it should be acceptable for email. If you want to attach the image at its original quality, download it to your device, then attach it to your email or use Mail Drop.

Mac

Open both your browser of choice (Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox) and the Mail app side by side using one of these methods:

• Place the mouse pointer on the left and right sides of the app windows and drag to adjust their size.
• Click Window in Mac’s top menu bar, followed by Move & Resize, and select an option.
• You can also place the mouse pointer over the green traffic light button and select an option, as shown in the screenshot below. Then, repeat this for the other app window.

Now, drag a photo from the webpage and drop it onto the Mail app compose screen.

Important: Not all webpages and websites allow dragging & dropping images. In this case, you can use the tips here to extract the hard-coded image, then attach it to the email using the paper clip icon.

Another method to import a photo from the Internet into Apple Mail Control-click or right-click on the image on a website and copy it. Then, Control-click or right-click again in the Mail compose screen and paste it there.

iPhone and iPad

You can drag & drop text, images, files, and other things on iOS with relative ease. But if you’re a new user, I recommend taking the easier approach.

1. Touch and hold the image on a webpage until it lifts, and select Copy (Copy Subject only copies the main element of that photo).
2. Now, go to the Mail app and paste the image on the compose screen.

Learn how to mark your AirTag as lost and add your phone number and email so the person who finds it can contact you to return the item.

Just like iPhone, you can activate your missing AirTag or supported third-party Find My network trackers in Lost mode.

Lost Mode lets you display a message and your phone number or email address to inform the finder that the item is lost.

When a person finds your lost AirTag or third-party tracker, they can use their iPhone or NFC-capable Android phone to visit Apple’s webpage that shows your Lost Mode message and phone number.

Activate Lost Mode for AirTag or other items

1) Open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

2) Go to the Items tab and select your missing AirTag or third-party item tracker.

3) Tap Show Contact Info in the Lost AirTag section.

4) Read more about this and tap Continue.

5) Enter your phone number so the finder can contact you and tap Continue. If you don’t want to disclose your mobile number, tap Use an Email Address and type that instead.

6) Make sure the “Notify When Found” switch is enabled so you get a notification alert when your missing AirTag comes in contact with other iPhones, iPads, or Macs and relays its location to you. Review the phone number and the Lost Mode message (which, unlike on iPhone, you can’t customize for AirTags), then tap Show Information.

Lost Mode is successfully activated on this AirTag or a third-party Find My network tracker. Now, all you can hope for is that a kind person finds your item attached to an AirTag and knows how to see your contact information so they can return it to you.

How the finder can see your contact information to return the item

When a person finds your AirTag or other tracker, they will have to hold the white part of the AirTag near the top portion of their iPhone or NFC-capable Android phone to visit found.apple.com and see the Lost Mode message and your phone number or email address.

Here’s how it looks on Android:

Tip: Remember to turn on NFC on Android phone from the quick settings panel.

They can also use Apple’s Tracker Detect Android app to learn more about the AirTag. But it’s a poorly rated app that doesn’t work very reliably.

Change your phone number or turn off Lost Mode

1. Open the Find My app and select your AirTag in the Items section.
2. Tap Show Contact Info in the Lost AirTag section.
3. Edit the phone number or email address and tap the checkmark icon. Or, to turn off Lost Mode, tap Remove Contact Info or Stop Showing Information.
