Normally when you email photos the process goes like this

Fire up the Photos app, select from one to five pictures, tap the Share icon and then tap Mail.

Now if you select more than five photos you will no longer see Mail in the menu that appears.

Now head to the Mail app and compose a new message then paste the contents of the clipboard (i.e., your photos) into the body.

For those unfamiliar with pasting, you first put your cursor into the body of the email then do a long tap on that cursor until a pop-up menu appears. Tap Paste and you are done.

The bad point to this method is that the recipient may get an email with all your photos embedded in the message rather than attached as files. This can make them more challenging to extract/save. It depends on the recipient email service provider.

Using AirDrop

AirDrop is a great option for “emailing” photos to other iOS users as long as they are in close proximity to you.

For this,you have to be in physical proximity to the recipient.  This isn’t a long-distance solution. But that’s fine when you’re with a group and everyone asks you to send photos.

Second, AirDrop works only with other iOS users.  For this you will have to find another method of sharing with your Android users. You may use share it application.

Assuming you’ve met those requirements you also need to make sure both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on all devices involved in the transaction.

It’s also worth noting that Apple’s iCloud Photo Sharing option can also be used to share photos with other Apple users, but it’s not quite the same thing as sending photos. Rather, it’s a shared album which may be fine for your purposes.

Using an app

Apple may not want you to email more than five photos at once but plenty of third party apps have no problem with it. In most cases you will be sending a link rather than the actual photos but that can actually work out better for the recipient.

If you using a cloud storage app like Dropbox or OneDrive that’s the best for sharing batches of photos. Assuming the photos in question have already been uploaded or backed up, if you use the service for that purpose, just select the ones you want to send, then use the app’s “share” option.

This will generate a link that you can email to the other recipients. When you receive clicking or tapping that link produces a web page where the photos can be viewed

You don’t need a cloud storage app to share this way example of a file-sharing app that uploads selected photos to temporary storage then generates a link you can send to others.

One key difference: accessing that link immediately downloads the photos and there is no preview

To use it, just tap your finger and drag it to select all the photos you want to share. Then, in the “selected” bar near the bottom tap the three dots to access the action menu and then tap Share Link. That will lead you to the iOS Share menu, where you can tap Mail. The newly created message will include the Send Anywhere link, now you just need to specify the recipient and send it. There are many other examples too. If you find some other do let me know
