How to Print Email from iPhone
Printing out emails is useful even in this digital age. While you would previously have to use a computer to print emails, you can now do so even from your iPhone!
This has made printing extra speedy and convenient as your phone is typically something you always have on you.
And the best thing about iPhones is that no matter which email app you use, there’s always a way to print out emails from your device.
In this guide, we’ll explore:
- Methods to print an email using the Mail or Gmail app
- Printing emails via AirPrint technology.
I hope this helps!
How to Print an Email from an iPhone in the Mail App
The first way to print an email from an iPhone is right within your phone’s native Mail app.
- Open your Mail app and access the email you want to print
- On the bottom of the email, tap the blue arrow that’s pointing to the left. This should open a menu of different options
- Scroll through the menu and find “Print”
- Choose your printer and paper settings and tap “Print” to print your email.
If you want to print the file attached to the email, printing the whole email won’t work. Instead:
- Tap the attachment to open it
- Tap the Share button, which looks like a blue box with an arrow pointing up from it
- Tap “Print”
- Choose your printing settings and tap “Print” to print the attachment.
How to Print an Email from an iPhone in the Gmail App
If you’re using Google’s popular Gmail app instead, here’s how you can print emails from your iPhone:
- Open the Gmail app, and open the email you want to print
- Tap the Actions button, which looks like three small gray dots in the upper right corner of the app. Note that both the email thread and each individual email have their own Actions button
- Tap “Print” to print a single email. If you want to print all emails in the thread, tap the thread’s Actions button and find the “Print all” option
- Choose your printing settings and tap “Print”.
Printing attachments works similarly to the Mail app. Just click the attachment, find the Share button, and print.
Sometimes, however, you might not be able to print an email in Gmail. This might happen when the sender turns on the Gmail Confidential feature.
How to Print an Email from an iPhone via AirPrint
Apple’s AirPrint technology is a convenient way to print from your iPhone. There’s no particular setup that’s required and you don’t need to download anything additional, either. Among other things, you can use this feature to print emails:
- Check that the printer you want to print from supports AirPrint. Most modern popular printer models do. Access this list on Apple Support or check your printer manual to see if yours does
- Make sure your printer and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and that you’re not too far away
- Follow the instructions to print an email from the Mail app or Gmail app. Even if you’re using another app, you should still find a Share button or Actions button
- When you’re choosing your printing options, tap “No Printer Selected” and select your printer that supports AirPrint.
After selecting “Print”, you can manage your print jobs from the Print Center in the App Switcher.
Key Takeaways
You can easily print emails on your iPhone from the Mail app, the Gmail app, or by using AirPrint.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that getting things from your inbox onto paper is more convenient than ever!
