Let Apple know here:

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.
Thank you! Can you please also send this to feedback.apple.com
I spoke with them and they said they don't monitor the community page but they do pay attention to the feedback page.
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 !!

The only solution is to install Canva which is free, and just open your photo there and add a circle FRAME. Then put the photo inside the frame and pinch to wherever you want to zoom and save it like this.
I’ll be replacing my aging iPhone XS with a Galaxy S24. The tools there for photos now that it has AI are far superior.
it feels like I’m working with a dumb phone again like years ago with iOS4 when I couldn’t copy and paste. When we had to find crappy apps to do very simple things because our dumb iPhones couldn’t do it on their own.
they will add it again in iOS20 and sell it like it’s something new and groundbreaking. They’ll come up with a fancy new name for it too.
Yep, same here. I was advised to go to apple.com/feedback to request that Apple bring it back. Wanted to share.

They are aware ! Many people have called over this issue. I was told by an Apple Senior Advisor according to the engineers it’s working as it should.

I am please to let you all know that much better alternative app is available now which does the same job without any ads : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photo-editor-with-magnifier/id6502226327
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.
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 😃
