Several readers have found that after updating to iOS 13 or iPadOS, they are unable to print from their iPhone or iPad. They are unable to locate the ‘Print’ function in any of the apps on the iPhone or iPad.
The Print function to trigger your AirPrint is there in iOS 13and iPadOS but the location has somewhat changed. You now have to customize the share sheet actions in order to have the ‘Print’ feature within a click away when you are in an app.

In this short article, we use ‘Safari’ as an example but the same holds true for other apps such as Notes, Reminder, and so forth.
If you initially tapped on the Share sheet icon and then tapped on ‘More’, only to discover that unlike previous iOS versions, you cannot find the ‘Print feature, read on!
Here’s how to print from your iPhone in iOS 13 (and from your iPad with iPadOS)
- Tap on the ‘Share’ icon in the app.
- Next, Scroll up from the bottom of the screen
- Now you will find the ‘Print’ feature
- You can tap here to AirPrint
The best option moving forward is to explicitly save the Print action it to your Share Sheet favorites, so you don’t have to root around for it moving forward.
- Tap on ‘Edit Actions..’ at the bottom of the screen
- Scroll down to the section ‘Other Actions’
- Tap on the Green ‘+’ icon next to Print
- Tap on ‘Done’ at the top right corner of the screen
- This will save the ‘Print’ feature to your Shares Sheet favorites at the top of the actions list
How to print an email in iOS 13 and iPadOS
Some design changes in iOS 13/iPadOS are awesome, but Apple reduced the Mail app to just two basic functions–the trash can and the reply button. We think that’s taking minimalism a bit too far for our taste!
- To print an email, you need to first tap that reply button
- Then you see a bunch of mail app actions, including print as well as reply all, flag, mark as unread, forward, archive message, and so forth
- Once you tap the reply button and choose print, your AirPrint Printer Options dialog appears to select your printer and how many copies you want to print, just like always!
Wrap up
We hope that you were able to locate and use the print feature on your iPhone with this short article. What are some of the other features that you are enjoying on iOS 13 and iPadOS apart from ever-popular ‘Dark mode’?

Something so simple that I took for granted until print disappeared” after update.
I had no idea to scroll up slightly and had spent longer than necessary installing printer app and copying to there to print. Time saver! Thank you
How do you print an email attachment after ios13 update? No print option after hitting share button.
Hi Diane,
Press on the attachment to reveal the quick action menu with options like Quick Look, Markup, Share, and Copy.
Tap the Share option to open the share sheet.
Scroll down past the two rows of icons to the quick actions list.
You should find Print on this list. If not, tap Edit Actions and choose Print there.

I found this very helpful. Thank you.
This solved my printing problem. Thanks!
Is it just me?
When in Dark Mode, printing an email from the Gmail account, the email header prints with a black background. This uses a lot of expensive black ink.
The body of the email prints out as normal with the white background.
I’ve used Dark Theme in my EVERNOTE app on my iPhone 7 since it first came out – maybe a year or so ago.
Before IOS 13.2 update, there was a PROMPT in my EVERNOTE account page to turn on Dark Theme.
Now that prompt is gone & I have to turn on Dark Mode via my iPhone 7 settings which turns on Dark Mode on all of my Platforms, to include my Gmail account.
I don’t like my Gmail in Dark Mode but I strongly prefer Dark Mode while using Evernote.
The only hack I figured out so far is to go to settings & turn on/off Dark Mode which is extremely frustrating.
I wish I knew how to turn on Dark Theme from within my EVERNOTE app – or, I wish I knew why EVERNOTE deleted the Dark Theme prompt frim my account page. Thanks
How do you print an email in IOS 13? There is no share button.
Hi Sharyn
You are correct! And it makes no sense but to print an email, tap the Reply button to bring up a list of actions, including (all the way at the bottom) the print option.
Not very user-friendly indeed!
