Safari fit-to-page for columns of text no longer works

[Scott in Austin]

I used to love (and use) this feature all the time. It seems to be gone. Anyone know where it went or how to get it back?

Here are some places it’s use is described:

6. Double tap a column on Safari to fit-to-page
When browsing the Internet on your iPhones Safari browser, double tap any column, word, or picture to fit its width to your iPhones screen. This is extremely useful for reading blogs.

In many apps, you can zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari.

NOTE: In the (“Optional - Pick a category” I picked iOS 11 only because iOS 13 wasn’t an option here
