How to Save Pictures from Emails on an iPhone
Do you want to save that picture in your email? There are several ways you can save images or pictures from emails including using Mail, Gmail, or Inbox mobile apps, or taking a screenshot. This wikiHow article teaches you how to save an image that you received in an email to your iPhone.
Steps

Using the Apple Mail App

Open Mail. This is iPhone's native email client: It's a blue app that contains the image of a white envelope.

Tap an email message. Locate the email message with the picture you want to save and tap to open it.

Tap and hold on the photo you want to save. On iPhones without 3D Touch, this opens the "Share" menu in the Mail app. On iPhones with 3D Touch, press firmly on the image and hold briefly, then tap the "Share" icon, which looks like an open rectangle with an upward-pointing arrow in the lower-left corner of the screen. You may have to tap an image once to download it before you tap and hold on it.

Tap Save Image. It's an icon that looks like a downward-pointing arrow inside a gray rectangle in the lower-left corner of the menu. Your picture has been saved to your iPhone's Camera Roll. If the app asks for permission to access your photos, tap Allow. If you'd like to save the image to your iCloud Drive, scroll left on the "Share" menu and tap Add To iCloud Drive.

Using the Gmail or Inbox App

Open your Google email client. Depending on which app you prefer, open either the Gmail or Inbox app on your iPhone.

Tap an email message. Locate the email message with the picture you want to save and tap to open it.

Tap the photo you want to save. Doing so opens the photo in full-screen mode. If the photo is not an attachment but, rather, embedded into the text of the message, you may not be able to open it. If you're unable to open the photo, a screenshot is your best option ↓.

Tap the "Download" icon. It looks like an underlined, downward-pointing arrow in the top-center of the screen. Your picture has been saved to your iPhone's Camera Roll. If the app asks for permission to access your photos, tap Allow. If you'd like to save the image to your iCloud Drive, tap the "Share" icon in the upper-right corner (a rectangle with an upward-pointing arrow), scroll left on the "Share" menu and tap Add To iCloud Drive.

Taking a Screenshot of an Embedded Email Photo

Open your preferred email client. Depending on which app you prefer, open Gmail, Inbox, or whichever email app you use on your iPhone.

Tap an email message. Locate the email message with the picture you want to take a screenshot of and tap to open it.

Resize the image on your screen. Depending on the app you're using and the type of file that you're working with, it may be able to resize the image prior to taking a screenshot. To do so, place two fingers (typically your thumb and either index or middle finger) on the screen and spread them apart (to make the image bigger) or pinch them together (to make the image smaller).

Press the Power/Lock and Home buttons at the same time. The Power/Lock button is either located on the top or side of your iPhone, depending on which version you have. The Home button is the round button below the screen on the front of the phone. The screen will flash once to indicate that the screenshot was successfully saved to your Camera Roll.Take a Screenshot With an iPhone Step 13.jpg If your screen turns off or you are returned to your home screen, you may have accidentally pressed one of the two buttons before the other (instead of at the same time). In that case, simply navigate back to the image and try again.
