I updated my phone the other day and now I can’t enlarge a picture in a text message. When I hold on the picture all it wants to do is to delete it! How do I zoom in to look at a picture close up?
I had the same experience - showing the circles with check marks in them - and then it just occurred to me that I was in a "delete selected" mode or something. You have to cancel out of that first (upper right "cancel"), then it works.
So the correct procedure is NOT to 2-finger spread on an image to zoom - that is what gets you into that "delete selected" mode described above. You have to tap on the image once first, it expands to fill screen, THEN you can 2-finger spread zoom in further.
Thats really weird because my problem is on the Iphone 7+ and a friend with an 11 doesnt have the problem. It works on Whatsapp but not Imessage for me.
Thanks for sharing. It's a user-unfriendly iOS 13 gesture feature.
It's not a "hard" tap but a simple single finger tap before the double finger motion. No force is needed. I do think this was not a good change on Apple's part.
Nothing worked on my iPhone8 until I did the quick hard tap...then viola! It worked!!
I wonder if the problem has something to do with the settings here: General>Accessibility>Touch Accommodations
The hard tap did not work, but four fast taps does! Easiest done by using two fingers. Works 100% of the time.
Yes, a very user unfriendly feature.
You nailed it. Some that worked perfect, now doesn’t. Apple needs a new Jobs...he would have never tolerated this.
This is stupid. Took something that worked PERFECT, and made it harder. Jobs would not have tolerated this.
You’re activating the edit, hit cancel on top right to get out of that.
Do a quick tap in the messages to open the image first, then try zooming out (pinch out)
It worked for me once, and then never again.
Very stupid change, Apple.
Apologies press save not copy and it saves into images! Too eatly in the morning.
Thanks...unfortunately this new way works worse than the old version on an iPhone 7...which is likely how Apple forces you to buy new phones
I have the same issue and it's extremely frustrating. I do not understand why anyone thought this was a good idea for an "upgrade."
Pause finger on pic extra tad long
when vibrates and gets bigger the zoom in
that or
tap one quick tap
then when it pops
zoom with fingers
Can’t enlarge pictures in text message
