In ios 13 I used the two finger select gesture to select and delete multiple texts/images within a thread but this function no longer works on ios 14 within a text thread. It only works to select multiple threads. Is there a fix for this?
The article below has a gif showing the gesture.

Hello dpowellmeii,
As you mentioned, the feature is not in iOS 14. Use the link above to submit your feedback if you'd like to see that return.
Take care.
Yes that is exactly what I said above.
Before ios 14 one could use the two finger select gesture to select multiple texts/images within a thread/conversation and you could also select multiple threads/conversations. Now you can only select multiple threads/conversations, they removed the functionality of this gesture within the thread/conversation. Is there way to turn in back on? Why was this functionality removed?
Hello dpowellmeii,
We understand you're looking to use two-fingers to double tap and select + delete multiple messages. This great feature has now moved to deleting entire conversations. Here's more about that:
