Can't magnify in Markup after iPhone iOS 17 Update

Went in to edit a photo for my small

business, I am the sole service provider & owner of a facial studio, & the magnifying tool is missing from the markup option in the photo editor. This tool is extremely useful to show case my clients before & after treatment results. I’m beyond disappointed in Apple for removing this feature. This feature is extremely important to small businesses, which are the backbone of this ever declining economy, please fix it ASAP. You’re hurting small businesses.

I agree.

What really irritates me is that markup with magnifier when editing a photo is clearly stated in iOS 17 user guide for iPhone and iOS 17. It’s supposed to be there per iOS 17/ iPhone user guide yet it’s NOT !!

I just sadly discovered the no-magnifying-in-markup travesty today, and I have to tell you, I figured out I could still do it on my iPad!! Apparently that part of the update didn’t get to the iPad yet! 😂 yayyyy!

I submitted, thank you! Its not just the magnifier though.

1) the magnifier

2) the DELAY in menus. They think we want sweeping animations NO I WANT FAST. When i tap something, i want the popup immediately like it used to be

3) messages…they need to put photos below the message like it was. That sweeping animation popup is HORRIBLE, harder to see, harder to use, wastes time. It needs to go

4) the boxes are all filled in! This doubles my work flow! Doubles the time it takes me to mark up EVERY image!

these changes are an absolute disgrace. And that feedback form has limited characters so you cant even tell them everything they messed up. For most, these are probably minor inconveniences. But for me its an additional 20 hours of work each week so to say im furious is an understatement.

I don’t usually do this! Making my complaints but I am here now to make my statement! APPLE NEED TO BRING BACK THE Magnify mark up back! If I’ve known iOS 17 would not remove magnify I would not update my phone.

Please bring it back!!!! This is literally why I bought the iphone. I have only had android since cell phones came out lol. I needed this for my facial photos. I am an esthetician and this really helps

It seems to me that apple is willing to dismantle all the best feature of our smartphone. another missing feature that i loved so much is sign documents importing the signature with the camera.

i can inagine thath all this feature will be avaiable on third part apps, over a subscription plan.

shameful

Yes, the magnify option for photo editing is a must. I often photograph areas that I need to make sure specific portions are noticed. Please, please add the feature back as an additional edit option. I understand it may not be necessary for all pics, but it is very important. Many people don’t even know how to use it or what it does.

I’ve relied on the magnifying glass feature in the iOS Photos app for both professional training materials and personal use, thanks to its simplicity and effectiveness. Its removal in iOS 17 has significantly impacted my workflow, as alternative apps complicate what was once a straightforward process. The built-in magnifier was not only efficient but also intuitively designed, making detailed image examination accessible without the need for additional, complex apps. I urge Apple to consider its reinstatement, reflecting the real utility it offers to users who appreciate the clean and user-friendly design of the native Photos app.

I used it for work purposes.. Great tool for the blind, nearly impaired & visually didnt understand.. The magnifying feature was great.. Also where's the shapes in case there was something u needed to make specific high lighted to data entries . This not available in photo mark up???

Was and still am so p is sed that they got rid of it.. I’m seriously considering going back to android. Their cameras are much better and I think they have some better features than Apple. Their platform is easy to use. I bet they wouldn’t get rid of their Magnifier. Seems to me we’ve already had a couple updates for 17 one of them should’ve been the return of the Magnifier.

Well here I am on April 29, more than seven months after updating to iOS 17 and I’ve just noticed for the first time that the magnifying glass is missing. Why on Earth did they get rid of it??? I didn’t use it often, but when it comes in handy, you want it!

Sorry, dear Apple Team, but it is very annoying that you removed our super useful MAGNIFYING GLASS!!!! With what purpose, please? Normally the updates improve the tools, but in this time it is a clear 0. Hope you put it on again with the next update!!!!!

Nice app, the watermark is kinda huge though. I wanted to support your app because it does add a magnifier but the free version lowers the resolution & adds the watermark and the professional version is subscription-based? Bro....c'mon...I can't. It works well for anyone that's interested.

Does anyone at Apple even care !

They for sure don’t read the threads.
