Can’t enlarge pictures in text message
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.
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!
Thanks Joe, also worked on iphone 11. :)
The person who said his wife had same problem and he jus would tap the picture or context hard was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!
Thank you
