Let others send you encrypted messages by sharing your public key.
Attach to Outgoing Emails
Automatically include your public key with every message you send.
- Go to Settings

Recipients can import your key directly from the attachment. This is the easiest way to exchange keys with new contacts.
Upload to a Keyserver
Make your key discoverable by anyone who searches for your email address.
- Open Keys → Private segment
- Tap your key
- Tap Export to Keyserver
⚠️ Warning: Keyserver uploads are permanent. Keys cannot be removed from public keyservers — only revoked. Make sure you’re ready to use this key long-term before uploading.
Share via AirDrop
Send your public key to a nearby Apple device.
- Open Keys → tap your key
- Tap Share → AirDrop
- Select the recipient’s device
The recipient can import the key directly into iPGMail or any other PGP app.
Export to Files
Save your public key as a file to share however you like.
- Open Keys → tap your key
- Tap Share → Save to Files
- Choose a location (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
You can then:
- Email the file as an attachment
- Upload it to your website
- Share via any messaging app
- Post it on social media
Copy to Clipboard
Copy your public key as text to paste anywhere.
- Open Keys → tap your key
- Tap Share → Copy
