Can't select multiple text messages within a thread with ios 14

[jetlink]

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.

As with everything apple it seems that they continue to ruin the stuff that makes sense.

I'm actually kinda happy they removed this. I was constantly accidentally activating this, and had to cancel out before I would accidentally remove a message.

But, yes, giving an option to enable the two-finger selection tool would be a better solution and please more people for sure.
