Good news, mobile photographers: your HDR photos will now look right on both Android and iOS x


  • Android 15 and iOS 18 both display images in full HDR
  • Both operating systems have adopted the ISO 21496-1 standard
  • Support is still dependent on specific apps

To see all the benefits of HDR (High Dynamic Range) in photos, you need the right software and hardware tech to display the images – and when it comes to software, the latest versions of Android and iOS are now on the same page, so HDR snaps will now look consistent across both mobile platforms.

As explained in detail by Mishaal Rahman at Android Authority, this is due to the adoption of the ISO 21496-1 standard in Android 15 and iOS 18. In simple terms, it just means an agreed upon way of interpreting and displaying HDR information in a picture.
