Can't magnify in Markup after iPhone iOS 17 Update

I want Apple to reconsider putting the magnifier tool back in the photo edit mode. This was a very useful feature.

Hey Apple! Bring back the magnifying tool.

we want “magnifier in markup tools” back

I am still on iOS 16 for now. As I use the magnifier for enhancing logos on items I sell online. Thought I’d add a screenshot for reference, in case an Apple Representative may pick this thread up, and know that this is the “magnifier” we refer to 😃

My phone updated. Now like everyone else my magnifier in photo editor is gone!!!! I use it all the time in my business for fish painting. Does anyone know if I can uninstall the latest update or if other phones have this feature. I am so disappointed in Apple taking away features from customers, for no reason. If would have known I would have never done the update.

I used this feature often and I’m super annoyed it’s gone. Bring back the magnifier.

Bring back the old edit. Magnify, circle, box etc. I used to love mark up! I now have to share it to another app. What’s the point of changing something great?!!?

Multiple people have reported this issue to Apple and multiple people including myself were told to leave feedback on this forum.

Simply put it’s a diversion from Apple to addressing the issue. I was told by a Senior Advisor whom i shared my iPhone screen with that Apple Engineering stated it’s working fine. Senior Advisor seen with her own eyes it wasn’t working. Then simply told me to leave feedback here. Diversion !!

Yeah according to iOS 17 user guide it’s to be there and work as previously. For the majority, there is no “work around”. I spoke to a senior advisor and she was quite surprised and stated issue would be escalated immediately. I’m sure in next update the issue will be resolved. Great feature I used often !

Is anyone from

Apple even paying attention? I called in but the service was horrible with customer support agents poorly trained and not even aware of the devices or software they supposedly support. The demise of Apple customer care is starting to show.

such a great feature, please bring it back!!

Yes i noticed. It’s not there anymore. One work around is possible if you have a Mac with older mac os (13.6 or earlier). This may / may not work in mac os 14. I haven’t updated.

And for this you need to have your photos synced with icloud.

Open photos app on mac. Edit the photo. There u will see magnify in markup tool. And an option to hand off to iphone. The same image will appear on iphone with older markup tool options. Including magnifier.

hope apple brings back markup tool - magnifier option. The ios 17 guide mentions magnifier in markup tools. But actually its missing on iphone as of now.

after iOS 17 native "photo editor and magnification " gone but now we have much better alternative app for same. do try it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photo-editor-with-magnifier/id6502226327

I was talking with apple support and they said we all need to go to

Feedback.apple.com

He said this is the only way to get their attention. This community chat page they don't track.

yoavc ~ Although Apple administers this community, that doesn't include reading each of thousands of daily posts for possible feedback. However, Apple will "read all feedback carefully" here:
