Hi, I know that Bulge pinch can distort well, but what I want is to make it draggable like a real magnifying glass, or whenever I touch the screen, the glass moves to that place. Can anyone help me please? thank you. I looked through other posts but didnt find what I want, no video about this too 
Hi, not a full solution for your problem but maybe something to get you started is here:
What are you trying to magnify? An image or the scene including multiple objects? There might be workarounds but it depends.
thank you, sorry for the late reply. I want to magnify a part of a picture in a scene. In the end, it should have the effect of pinching something. THank you
thank you, I also found this post but it didn’t solve my problem
Interesting. I would have created sentences formed by single letters (or a system that takes a string and creates many separate letters).
Then, I would have created three concentric circles, made them invisible, and positioned them on the lens. Moving the lens, the circles would move.
When the outer circle encounters a letter, it multiplies it by 2, the middle one multiplies it by 3, and the inner one by 4 (these are arbitrary values, of course).
Additionally, I would have created a frosted texture in Photoshop for the outer circle, to blur it a bit.
Did you try the methods in the linked post or did they not look how you want it.
For the items that are magnified you could use a large image. The scene version would be resized. You could then add a magnifying glass sprite with a lens object stuck to it with a circular mask. You could then move the mask over another larger image which would reveal the other object. I’ve never used a deplacement map.
Creating the magnifying glass would be a start.
In the end, it should have the effect of pinching something
By effect of pinching do you mean visually or the mechanics of pinching an image to zoom.

Based on the info you gave, Keith_1357’s suggestion seems to be the best. You can add the ‘BulgePinch’-effect to your lense/mask-sprite. This gives the impression as if you are moving a round glass-object over the surface.
The problem is that this alone has not a magnifying effect and that’s why you need, as Keith suggested, a larger image which becomes visible through the mask-object.
thank you for taking the time, by pinching, I mean when you pinch the cheek of a kid, the skin around it will be deformed. Kind of like that. I will experiment with your suggestions, tks again
