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.
Thank you! It was the only thing that helped enlarge it somewhat
But it works and your right it’s crazy you should just be able to tap and enlarge it appears updates made if more difficult to do. Who ever was the the person who changed it did an injustice to zoom
My iPad is still working ok.
However, I now have iOS 13.5.
Maybe that included a fix??

Unable to zoom on texted photos. Tapping only evokes a blue ck mark next to it and no zoom is possible.
Worked for me thank you sooooooo much
I just tried it again and now it doesn’t work.
Thanks!
OMG! It worked! Thanks.
your exactly right and ive a 6s
What worked? What did you do Nothing I see here was replied to me or the group
didnt work. blue circles only
I apologize. The very first time, I kept tapping the photo till it finally worked. Subsequent attempts were fruitless.
how can I zoom in on photos or save on messages
Me to, might have to get Samsung
Couldn’t agree with you more. Apple has turned the K.I.S.S. theory into M.I.C.E. (Make It Complicated Egghead!
