In iOS 13, you could tap on an iMessage in Messages and get options like forwarding it to other people, deleting it, etc. In iOS 14 this seems to be missing. Am I just missing something? Is there a way to turn this on? I've looked in settings for Messages and Accessibility etc...?

I don’t know what you mean by “two finger tap” (in the thread title.) You can double tap the message or hold down on it to access those options.
 
That does the same thing, but iOS 13 you could just tap on a message with 2 fingers and the "more" option would be selected.

It still works in Mail like it did in iOS 13. If you tap on a message with 2 fingers, you get options like move, trash, etc.

And double tapping it with one finger just gives the "tapback" options, which isn't the same thing.
 
Oh yeah. I forgot about that gesture. I don’t know why, but it’s not working for me either, so I guess they must have removed it.
