Get Screenshots Off the iPhone Quickly with Multi-Photo Email

Even if you don’t write for an Apple blog like me, you won’t deny that you love your iPhone. Sometimes you want to take a screenshot of the beauty you see on your screen and share it with your friends. And it’s easy to take screenshots with the device: simply push the Sleep button while holding down the Home button. Your iPhone will grab a jpeg of whatever you’re seeing and send it to your ‘Saved Pictures’ folder in Photos. Just email it to yourself and you’re done.

But maybe you’ve found an application that you like so much you want to alert the world about it by writing a review. In this case you’ll want to take multiple screenshots. The problem here is that currently there is no way on the iPhone to mail multiple photos, so your stuck sending out one email for every photo you want off the device or initiating a charge and pulling them into iPhoto. Both options are tedious.

As the name implies, Multi-Photo Email lets you mail off multiple photos from your Photos library, but it does so in an interesting way. Instead of displaying the photos in-email as the iPhone’s built in feature does, Multi-Photo adds them as attachments to your message. I’ve only tested it with my Gmail account, but it works like a charm and it’s much faster than sending one photo at a time or plugging in your iPhone. It’s 99 cents.
