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.
Thanks Joe, also worked on iphone 11. :)
Did the tradeoff for more secure OS= iPhone 11 Pro Max; however- Apple makes all sooooo much more difficult than needs to be! ????? I had forgotten. The inability to make text & pictures larger will hopefully be enough to demand a refund! That is ridiculous! Forget security if functionality is so jacked up! 🤨
My iPhone 8 is doing the same thing described in a number of these complaints. Text message pics won't enlarge with a single tap but option to delete instead. Wife's iPhone 8 hasn't been updated to 13 (another issue) and doesn't have the problem. I have to leave the text, open another text, go back to the first one and can then enlarge the pic. Lots of talk about a 'hard tap' WTF is a "hard tap"?

It worked for me once, and then never again.
Very stupid change, Apple.
You’re a genius!
Using an IPhone 11 I can’t enlarge a photo for viewing. If I tap it (as before), it wants to delete. Unable to expand. How can I do this? Or is there a future update in the works?
That's kind of crazy but okay.
Can’t enlarge pictures in text message
