How to use mail drop on iphone 11
Mail Drop is a feature in the Mail app on iPhone 11 that allows you to send large files or attachments that are too big to send via email. Here's how to use Mail Drop on your iPhone 11:
Sending a file using Mail Drop:
- Open the Mail app on your iPhone 11.
- Compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
- Tap the "Attach" button to add a file to your email.
- Select the file you want to attach from your iPhone's storage or take a photo/video directly from the app.

- Tap "Mail Drop" to send the file using Mail Drop.
- Enter the recipient's email address and a brief message (optional).

How Mail Drop works:
When you use Mail Drop, the file is uploaded to a temporary storage location on Apple's servers. The recipient will receive an email with a link to download the file from the Mail Drop storage location. This way, the file is not attached to the email, which helps prevent email size limits and attachment issues.
Receiving a file using Mail Drop:
- Open the Mail app on your iPhone 11.
- Check your email inbox for an email with a link to a Mail Drop file.
- Tap the link to download the file from the Mail Drop storage location.
- The file will be saved to your iPhone's storage, and you can open it or share it as needed.
Tips and limitations:
- Mail Drop is available for files up to 5GB in size.
- Mail Drop files are stored for 30 days before they are deleted.
- You can use Mail Drop to send files to anyone, regardless of their email provider or device.
- Mail Drop files are encrypted and secure, so you don't need to worry about file security.
