How can I enable 3x zoom in Portrait mode on my iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 18?

I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I saw some people makes 3x zoom on portait mode, and the results are amazing. So i want to test it out. But when i click 1x button on portait mode, nothing happens. I can't even make two-finger zoom.

Yes, I can make zoom up to 15x on normal Photo mode, but i can't even make 2x zoom on Portait mode. Can you help me?

Simply take two fingers and expand them on the screen and you'll see the camera zoom and you can choose the level of zoom you want. The default for Portrait is 2x, but by doing what I suggest, you'll see the zoom level on your iPhone screen as you expand the zoom manually.
