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.
No tapping worked for me . I’m so frustrated
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
Hi, was having the same problem on my 11 so I pressed down on the photo and held my finger there for a second and it enlarged...
My iPhone 5s zoomed ok.
My iPad generation 7 (2019) had this “no zoom” problem.
It was noticed after the most recent update, 13.4.1
I rebooted the iPad and it’s ok again.

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 have the same problem, and as Joe said: tap hard and then you can enlarge. It wasn’t always a problem. I suspect if many of us are having the same problem, then Apple should fix it.
I just tried it again and now it doesn’t work.
Thanks!
What works for me is to turn the device to change the orientation and turn it back. Then it works.
stupid design, Apple.
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
